Before You Sign on the Dotted Line
Deciding to buy a franchise is a life-changing decision. Once you've determined that franchising suits your personality and business aspirations, identified the right franchise, done your math, attended the initial training and, perhaps, paid an initial deposit, you'll be asked to sign a Franchise Agreement.
Typically, this agreement can run 40 or 50 pages, and be daunting to read if you're unfamiliar with commercial contracts. The very nature of a franchise business structure means that the agreement will be fairly complex. And, since the average length of a franchise contract is 10 years, be aware that this document provides the framework for your business life for the foreseeable future!
Franchisors, particularly established ones, are seldom willing to change or negotiate the terms of their standard Franchise Agreement since they want to maintain uniformity across their entire franchise system. All the more reason that it's essential for you to understand what you are being asked to sign.As a businessperson, once you've signed an agreement, you'll be hard-pressed to persuade a court later that the terms were unfair or sufficiently unreasonable to be void. You'll be stuck with it!
For that reason, I strongly urge you to seek legal advice from an attorney who specializes in franchise law.
Key objectives during your review of the contract include establishing the true cost of the franchise including ongoing royalties, advertising and other applicable charges. You need to understand exactly what location and territorial rights you've been granted and whether they are exclusive to you? What property and equipment is required? What your obligations are, and those of the franchisor, relating to the ongoing operation of the franchise?
Often the most complex area relates to renewal and termination of the franchise. Are you granted an automatic right of renewal beyond the initial specified term of the franchise? If so, what is the renewal fee? Can you sell your franchise to someone else? If so, you will usually need to give the franchisor first option and/or a right of veto over the acceptability of any proposed transferee, often coupled with the payment of a percentage fee.
What are the consequences of an early termination on your part if you want or need to get out prematurely? There will usually be a minimum period with forfeiture of the franchise fee and, possibly, other financial penalties and compensation. What if you are in breach of contract? What circumstances would lead to an automatic termination? Are you given a period in which to remedy your breach?
It's also useful to ask yourself some "what if?" scenarios. What if you died or were seriously ill? What if you failed to meet your sales targets? What if you wanted to sell product outside of your territory? What if a customer sued you for faulty products?
If you cannot answer all of your what ifs, I strongly urge you to seek more advice. Don't be afraid to ask the franchisor these questions. But don't expect an entirely impartial response.
While most established franchisors are honest and reputable, it's still important for you to be vigilant and thoroughly understand the terms that you're agreeing to.
In franchising, as in every other financial transaction, "buyer beware" is advice well taken.

I have a tiny black dot on my tooth?
I clean my teeth twice a day, I very rarely have sweets and chocolate, but I recently noticed a tiny little black dot on the top of my tooth. What is this? I do have this thing with my teeth that because when my teeth were growing I was ill so they havent formed properly or something, so my dentist has put this enamel stuff on my tooth. Is this the same thing or will I need a filling? I noticed it quite recently after I last went to the ddentist...
I have had it for a few months. it is not at all painful, and it has remained the same size. it is on one of my moulers (how do you spell it?)
Enamel? Sealent? something like that... can't remember what it was called.
Oh, and if anyone bothers opening this, if it is a cavity, will it hurt to get it filled?
it could be the hole under the sealant starting to be apparent. and they're spelled Molars =)
you might need a filling, but if the sealant is working for your dentist now, wait it out. might as well take things as they come, rite? good luck!
