Questions to bring to a franchise attorney

Franopolis is a research tool. It is not legal or financial advice, and reading data is not a substitute for professional review.

Topics worth raising

• Territory rights and their conditions
• Renewal terms, and what changes at renewal
• Transfer and resale restrictions
• Termination conditions and post-term non-compete clauses
• Personal guarantees
• Required suppliers and technology fees
• Litigation history and what it may mean

Before the meeting

Bring the franchisor's full disclosure and agreement, your own notes on owner conversations, and the figures you want explained. An accountant can help with the financial side.
