Information for Franchisors

 

A franchise can be a great way to market your product, and build and manage your business in Australia and overseas. 

The Franchising Code of Conduct imposes a number of obligations on franchisors, particularly in relation to the disclosure of information. Meeting these obligations can be expensive and time-consuming. Our franchising team work with large and small franchisors operating within Australia and overseas.
