FRANCHISE REPRESENTATION

---

Building a brand requires more than a stack of generic documents.  Your brand deserves an individualized approach, and the team you put together to implement your brand should be trained to understand the various federal and state franchise laws, the disclosures in your Franchise Disclosure Document, and the contractual provisions in your Franchise Agreement.

  DON’T BUY A FRANCHISE WITHOUT KNOWING AND LIMITING YOUR RISKS!

• A Franchise is like a marriage; it is a long-term commitment with serious personal and financial implications if it is not successful.
• Is this the right long-term partner?
• A Franchise is a BUSINESS: Make sure you have analyzed the risks and are comfortable that this is the right investment.
• Develop a thorough due diligence plan, and don't be afraid to ask for what you need to make the transaction beneficial to you.  

Acquiring a franchise or license is a big decision, but the right decision can be extremely rewarding. Before you make a decision, arm yourself with unbiased knowledge of the risks and benefits associated with your proposed acquisition.
