Franchise Law Attorney-–Los Angeles, CA
What is a Franchise?
A franchise is a legal business relationship between the owner of an existing brand (the franchisor) and someone who licenses the brand for sale (the franchisee). A franchise is a business model where a franchisor grants a franchisee the right to operate a business using the franchisor’s trademark, systems, and support. In exchange, the franchisee typically pays fees and agrees to operate under specific guidelines. Franchising allows entrepreneurs to launch businesses with the benefit of an established brand, but it also comes with certain legal agreements and compliance requirements.
