Agency, distribution & franchise agreements

Once your business is established, you’ll want it to grow. Franchising, agency and distribution agreements can all hold significant advantages for businesses – but are any of them right for you? Fortunately, we’ve got the expertise to help you decide.

Franchising

A franchising agreement can help your business to expand more quickly than if you had to set up new operations in different areas from scratch. The franchisor sells the right to use its business model and brand products or services to another person or business – called the franchisee. The franchisee gets the benefits of working with a known brand and the goodwill that comes with it. For the franchisor, the money paid by franchisees can be used to develop the brand and business.

Agency and distribution agreements

If you want to break into new markets, agency or distribution agreements can sometimes be the best way to move your business forward. Agencies find customers in new markets for you – and you pay them for their services. In a distribution agreement, you sell your products to a distributor, and they then sell them on to new customers in a new market area.
