Generic templates can't account for:

• State-specific franchise registration requirements

Our attorneys draft each agreement from the ground up based on your questionnaire responses, ensuring it fits your franchise system perfectly and complies with federal and state franchise laws.

• Company-owned location rights and online sales territories

Your territory provisions will be clear, enforceable, and aligned to your growth strategy.

We ensure:
• Proper terminology and structure for FTC compliance
• Alignment with your Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)

If you don't have an FDD yet, we can coordinate with your franchise consultant or FDD preparer to ensure consistency.

After finalization, you'll receive:
• Final Franchise Agreement in Word and PDF formats

You're free to use the agreement with as many franchisees as you need—there are no per-use fees or ongoing licensing costs.

These provisions cover:
• Development schedule with specific opening dates
