Making the decision to franchise your business is not one to take lightly. You must consider whether your business concept is one that can be successfully replicated and whether it is in your best interest to turn your idea into a franchise. There are many factors that you have to take into consideration, before taking the leap to becoming a franchisor.

Similarly, if you are looking to purchase a franchise, there are issues you need to evaluate. When you buy a franchise, you are doing more than just hanging a shingle and running a business. You have to ensure that you have reviewed the provisions of the franchise agreement and other binding documents to protect yourself and your new business venture.

A Dallas franchise attorney from our office can assist you with any of the following:

• Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD): The FDD is a disclosure document required by the Federal Trade Commission. If you are a franchisor, we will draft this document for you and ensure that all required items are included. If you are a franchisee, we will review the FDD and identify any areas of concern.
• Franchise Agreement: This agreement is crucial as it details the rules of the franchise relationship. As a franchisor, we will help you create the franchise agreement and other related documents needed. If you are a franchisee, we will review the agreement and identify any areas of concern. We will also negotiate the provisions, when necessary.
• Development Agreement: If the franchise involves a specific, guaranteed area, a development agreement may be needed. We will draft this agreement, if necessary, and review it to ensure you are protected.
