Franchises are regulated on a federal level and, in certain states, on a state level as well. If your franchise is not structured properly, you may face certain legal consequences that will likely negatively impact your growth and brand. We can help you avoid this scenario with a complete review of your business to help determine whether you are properly set up and help you avoid pitfalls as you continue to grow your business.

Whenever you turn your business into a franchise you need to be thinking about how it is structured from a legal and accounting perspective. Oftentimes, that requires setting up new and different legal entities and business structures to help in limiting your liability and facilitating strategic growth. Each business is unique and is set up based upon criteria that we learn from you through the course of our representation. We will streamline this process and present you with all of the information and available options to help you make a well-informed decision.
TRADEMARKS AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
PROTECTION
One of the most important items needed in order to sustain long-term growth under the franchise model is to have strong trademarks or “Marks.” These Marks help you with your brand identity and, therefore, are a great example of an important piece of intellectual property that needs to be protected. We help create, apply, register, and manage your marks so that you can be put in the best position to grow your brand.

An important part of turning your business into a franchise is understanding from the outset that you are entering into a whole new type of business. No longer will you be limited to overseeing locations on a micro level, but you are now going to have a team of people to help you with marketing, management, and operations over the franchise as a whole. We help ensure that you have the proper legal documentation to protect your business as you grow the number of people who work within it.
OPERATIONS MANUAL
AND SYSTEM CREATION
In order to grow your business through a franchise model, you need thoroughly vetted systems and procedures. One of the most important aspects to franchising your business is having a well-mapped out Operations Manual specific to your franchise that serves as a go-to guide for your franchisees. We work with you to create, implement, and manage your Operations Manual.
