Get the Legal Support You Need for Franchising
Franchising is a proven model for growth, whether you’re starting your own franchise or buying into an existing one. However, to succeed you need a robust legal foundation. Talk to a leading franchise lawyer in Melbourne today and set yourself up for success from the start.
Franchising is a growing industry and an incredibly popular way of structuring a business. It’s a form of licensing where the owner (the Franchisor) of a brand, or product or service attains distribution through dealers (Franchisees) who normally receive sole permission to run the franchise over a set geographic location. The Franchisor assists the Franchisee with marketing, branding, and operations.
Why Work With a Franchise Lawyer in Melbourne?
Little more than 20 years ago, franchising emerged as its own field of law. Today, it remains one of the most exciting and effective ways for businesses to succeed. It’s an excellent way to either turbocharge an existing business or to buy into a proven framework to start a business with reduced risk.
As a business owner, franchising allows you to leverage the strength of your brand and spread farther than you would be able to if operating solo, while only becoming slightly more complicated. Alternatively, buying into an existing franchise will allow you to run with a proven, successful business model and bypass many of the risks small businesses face on startup.
