Franchise Agreement
Scale a proven business concept — with a brand license, a fee model, and a supply and non-competition arrangement that is clean under competition law.
The franchise agreement allows the franchisee to use a proven business concept in exchange for a fee. The wizard regulates system use and the brand, territorial protection, the entry fee and ongoing franchise fee, as well as the advertising fee, and points out the pre-contractual disclosure duty and the competition-law limits on purchase-tie obligations and non-competition clauses under the EU Vertical Block Exemption Regulation.

Pre-contractual disclosure carries significant liability risk; purchase-tie obligations and non-competition clauses are subject to competition law under the EU Vertical Block Exemption Regulation. We recommend legal review before the contract is concluded.
Our templates are ready-made documents that you adapt to your case. They are not legal advice and do not replace a review by a lawyer; we give no guarantee of correctness, completeness or up-to-dateness. Use is at your own responsibility.
