FAQs
The Franchise Code of Conduct is a mandatory regulation under Australian law that governs the conduct of franchisors and franchisees. It includes requirements for disclosure, dispute resolution, and fair trading. We ensure your franchising activities comply with this code.
A franchise agreement should include terms such as franchise fees, rights and obligations of both parties, operational standards, and duration of the agreement. We help draft agreements that are clear, comprehensive, and legally sound.
Franchise disclosure documents (FDDs) provide potential franchisees with detailed information about the franchise, including financial performance, fees, and legal obligations. We assist in preparing and reviewing FDDs to ensure they comply with legal requirements.
Ensuring compliance involves understanding and adhering to the code’s requirements, including providing accurate disclosure, following dispute resolution procedures, and maintaining fair trading practices. We provide expert advice to help you meet these obligations.
Effective franchise network management involves developing comprehensive operational manuals, providing training, monitoring compliance, and supporting franchisees. We help you establish systems and practices to ensure consistency and quality across your network.
