Implications of operating a franchised businessIn making this application I understand and have considered the following aspects of operating a franchised business. Franchises are only granted for a specific period of time and, at the end of that period, the franchisor is not obliged to grant me a further franchise term unless the Franchise Agreement says otherwise. Operating a franchise requires the franchisee to comply with the franchisors system and way of doing business. In the course of operating a franchise I will be provided some confidential information which I must keep confidential even after the franchise ends. After the franchise ends I may not be permitted to open a similar business or operate within a certain distance of the proposed bytherules franchise Operating a franchise may require me to regularly work on days and at times which might be considered outside of normal business hours and this may have an effect on my family In considering the bytherules franchise opportunity it is my responsibility to develop my own view regarding the financial potential of the proposed franchised business. Nobody, including bytherules can predict the outcome of a business venture and that any venture has a risk of failure. bytherules has advised me to obtain independent legal, accounting and business advice regarding the bytherules franchise opportunity and that not doing so may expose me to an increased level of risk or leave me unaware of some material aspect of the Bytherules franchise system.
