When you are ready to grow your business to multiple locations across the country or even internationally, you will have many options. And, while many choices may be present, among the most popular is to franchise the business to third party franchisees.
Of course, the legal and compliance obligations of creating a franchise are complex, highlighting the importance of engaging competent franchise attorneys when facing any franchise-related issues.
