POOR CONTRACT FILE MANAGEMENT MAKES ENFORCEMENT DIFFICULT

Franchisors too often neglect the careful management of their franchise agreement files. Some never plan properly to capture and maintain all the documents and data that a complete contract file should include. Others know what they should have in the file but don’t exercise proper diligence. New franchisors are especially prone to making this mistake. Poor contract file management makes it difficult for you to enforce your agreement if it becomes necessary.

The Right Files Protect Your Rights
Franchise sales are comprehensively regulated by the federal and state government. Failure to provide the UFOC at the right time or allowing the franchise agreement to be signed too early can give the franchisee strong defenses to the company’s attempts to enforce its rights. A missing signature on a franchise agreement or a guaranty can make enforcement impossible. Failure to capture the necessary information about a corporate franchisee and its owners can frustrate collection efforts in the future.
