Franchise Law
Businesses with recognizable brands and unique business approaches can rapidly grow and expand their reach by franchising their model and allowing others to operate a franchise location. Purchasing a franchise can also provide a business owner with the immediate benefit of leveraging an established business system or products with a recognizable brand.
