[Case Overview] A prospective franchisee was pressured to sign a 200-page Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for a coffee franchise. The franchisor claimed the terms were “non-negotiable.”
[Legal Strategy] Our team analyzed Item 7 (Initial Investment) and Item 19 (Financial Performance). We identified unfair “Territory” restrictions and clauses allowing the franchisor to mandate expensive renovations at will. We negotiated directly with the franchisor’s legal counsel to amend these terms.
[Result] The client secured a 3-mile exclusive territory and opened their store with full awareness and mitigation of financial risks.
