Nick,
Who has legal rights to the client list for a service
franchise? Is it the franchisor or the franchisee?
Who will maintain the client list after the term
of the franchise relationship? I don't see anything
regarding maintenance of client list in the franchise
agreements I have looked at.
Thank you,
Irina.
Hello Irina,
There is no universal "right" to a client
list be it the franchisor or franchisee. Instead,
contrary to your experience, I am accustomed to
seeing the issue clearing defined in the franchise
agreement. Now, if you are looking at a concept
that chooses (intentionally or through oversight)
not to address the issue, I suppose that the franchisee
assumes ownership. Make sense? Ask the franchisor;
you will get the individual answers.
Regards,
Nick
