A Consumer Guide to Buying a Franchise
- Terminations and Renewal
- You can lose the right to your franchise if you breach the franchise
contract. In addition, the franchise contract is for a limited time;
there is no guarantee that you will be able to renew it.
- franchise terminations. A franchisor can end your franchise agreement if, for example, you fail to pay royalties or abide by performance standards and sales restrictions. If your franchise is terminated, you may lose your investment.
- renewals. Franchise agreements typically run for 15 to 20 years. After that time, the franchisor may decline to renew your contract. Also be aware that renewals need not provide the original terms and conditions. The franchisor may raise the royalty payments, or impose new design standards and sales restrictions. Your previous territory may be reduced, possibly resulting in more competition from company-owned outlets or other franchisees.
