Franchise Services

Franchisor Services

Do own and operate a successful business? Have you received inquiries from people wanting to know if you sell franchises of your business? Have you researched the idea of franchising your business suddenly to find that it is much more complicated than you expected.

At the ICS Law Group, we help potential franchisors decide if franchising is right for their business. Once a business owner decides to franchise, we help them comply with the complicated federal franchise disclosure rules and the myriad of state franchise rules. We assist franchisors with creating a franchise agreement which protects the integrity of the franchisor’s business model and we assist franchisors with creating the required Federal Disclosure Document.

We do provide a special Monthly Retainer Program for franchisors.

Franchisee Services/Buying a Franchise

Are you considering buying a franchise? Have you met with the potential franchisor and been handed a thick disclosure document and a franchise agreement? Working through a franchise agreement can be a difficult process for even the experienced franchisee.

At the ICS Law Group we help guide potential franchisees through the evaluation process. Our attorneys will review the franchise agreement in order to spot any potential pitfalls and will provide you with a layman’s explanation of the terms found in the agreement. We will assist you with making an informed business decision before you sign the franchise agreement. In the event that you do sign a franchise agreement, our firm can also assist you with other legal needs as a franchisee, such as:

  • Setting up a business entity to own your franchise;
  • Reviewing and negotiating a commercial lease from which to operate your franchise; and
  • Assist you with complying with employment laws.

Franchisee Services are covered under our Monthly Retainer Program.
