Common Questions
Franchise questions Acton clients often ask.
Should an Acton franchise buyer review disclosure before paying a deposit?
Yes. Ontario franchise disclosure timing can be important before a prospective franchisee signs or pays money connected to the franchise.
Is the disclosure document the same as the franchise agreement?
No. The disclosure document gives information about the franchise opportunity. The franchise agreement is the contract that governs the relationship.
Can territory terms be negotiated?
Sometimes. The wording should still be reviewed so the buyer understands exclusivity, reservations, online sales, delivery, relocation, and nearby-location rights.
