CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR FRANCHISORS

Franchise companies have two important assets: intellectual property and the contract rights under their franchise agreements. Most franchisors do not have much in the way of tangible capital assets. Because of this, the administrative task of managing franchise agreement contract files is of critical importance. The franchisor’s future income stream is dependent upon these contracts.

Taking legal action to enforce a franchise agreement against a franchisee is, of course, a last resort. When enforcement is necessary, though, the franchise agreement, the franchisee’s personal guaranty and other ancillary documents, had better be in the file and properly executed. All too often, franchisors go looking through their documentation when the crisis of a franchisee termination hits only to find that something is missing from the file. Perhaps a document is not signed or is signed by the wrong entity. Perhaps there is no proof in the file of the proper disclosure before signing. Accurate Contract Management is a must.
