Missouri And Illinois Franchise Registration
As with any business venture, there are a number of legal considerations and steps that must be taken in order to form a franchise. Our attorneys have 40 years experience helping businesses ensure compliance with state and federal laws, as well as the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The first step in forming a franchise is to develop your franchise agreement. This agreement will outline the terms of the franchise relationship, including the duties and obligations of both the franchisor and franchisee. We will help you carefully consider all aspects of the agreement, as it will be legally binding for both parties.
Once the franchise agreement is finalized, we will help you register your franchise with the FTC. This registration process includes filing a disclosure document, which provides prospective franchisees with information about your business. The disclosure document must include certain required information, such as a description of the business model, financial statements, and information about any lawsuits or bankruptcies that have been filed against your franchisor.
After registering with the FTC, we will help you obtain a state license in order to operate your franchise. Each state has different requirements for licensure, and an experienced lawyer can help you navigate these requirements and obtain the necessary license(s).
