Franchising your business or joining an existing franchise can be a smart move – but only if your franchise agreement is legally sound. Many business owners overlook the fine print, only to face legal and financial issues later. That’s why ApexCounsel, based at Bourn Quarter, Wellington Way, Cambridge, CB23 7UE, is proud to offer a Free Franchise Agreement Review Checklist, designed to help UK entrepreneurs confidently evaluate franchise contracts before signing on the dotted line.

If you’re looking for free legal advice in the UK, this is a great place to start. With this checklist, you’ll understand the key clauses, legal red flags, and your rights and obligations as a franchisee or franchisor.

✅ What’s in the Free Franchise Agreement Review Checklist?

Our checklist is created by legal professionals to help you:

• Understand your initial fees, royalties, and any hidden costs.

• Clarify your territorial rights and competition restrictions.

• Evaluate termination clauses and dispute resolution options.

🔍 Why Use a Franchise Agreement Checklist?

Franchise agreements are long and often packed with legal jargon. If you sign without proper review, you might be agreeing to terms that limit your growth, overcharge you, or restrict your rights.

Our free legal documents and tools at ApexCounsel are written in plain English, making legal language easy to understand – so you can make informed decisions without spending a fortune on legal consultations.
