expansion agrees to provide its brand,
goodwill and other required support to assist
another party to set up and run the business
in exchange for some charges and part of the
revenue which is generated. In such
circumstances, a legal document is required
which declares all the terms and conditions
acceptable to all the parties and the rights,
duties and obligation of each party along
with the number of profits to be shared.
Such an agreement is called the Franchise
Agreement.
