Territory and exclusivity should be precise
Review nearby locations, reserved accounts, online sales, delivery areas, relocation rights, and whether exclusivity is real or limited.

Common Questions
Franchise questions Aurora clients often ask.
Should an Aurora franchise buyer ask about current and former franchisees?
Yes. Ontario disclosure materials may include franchisee information, and speaking with franchisees can help identify practical business risks.
Can renewal terms change at the end of the franchise term?
The answer depends on the agreement. Renewal fees, conditions, required upgrades, releases, and new-form agreements should be reviewed.
Is a personal guarantee standard in franchising?
Guarantees are common, but the scope, duration, lease connection, indemnities, and exit consequences should be reviewed carefully.
