The continuous obligations of the franchisor show that the economic as well as legal responsibility for the franchisor can be challenging
In principle, the franchisor supports the franchise partner in all areas in order to continuously ensure the success of the partner and thus also that of the system. For this purpose, the franchisor undertakes to provide extensive services that increase the attractiveness of the franchise partner on the market and facilitate its corporate management.
The continuous obligations of the franchisor show that the economic as well as legal responsibility for the franchisor can be challenging – especially if one is not fully advised. The pivotal point is certainly the franchise contract, which regulates all the obligations of the franchisor, but of course also the franchisee. The clearer, more comprehensive and more individual this contract is, the broader the basis for a successful development of the system, but of course also for a successful partnership with the franchisees.
