Canada Franchisor Lawyer

CANADIAN MASTER FRANCHISE ARRANGEMENTS

Structuring your oversight and control of Canadian franchise operations can take on multiple forms. Two of the primary approaches are: (1) the assignment of a corporate executive from global headquarters to assume direct charge of Canadian franchise operations and (2) the conferral of that responsibility to a Canadian business person through a master franchise arrangement.

And while your company will have its own internal procedures for investigating and vetting applicants for this critical role of your corporate proxy in Canada, your Canadian lawyer will look to bring your arrangements into conformity with Canadian laws and regulations, and providing you with Canadian investigatory services as to potential applicants and structuring of pertinent arrangements. Thereafter you will continue to require oversight systems that seek to assure compliance and preclude problems before they arise.

At the Canadian law firm of Neufeld Legal PC, we are committed to working with international franchisors as they strive to successfully enter Canada and make their franchise business profitable in Canada to the same degree that it has succeeded elsewhere in the world.
