Franchising Services

EIDC assists in determining appropriate business opportunities relative to the franchise business. A standardized system that franchisees follow is a major key to the success of the franchise operation and helps ensure consistency and quality throughout the organization. In addition, we provide considerations and recommendations regarding minimum performance standards and the methods to achieve them related to the franchise business. When performance standards are mandated, the Franchise Agreement includes provisions that clearly dictate the requirements in compliance with the guidelines. Franchisees may be required to provide information to the franchisor regarding sales revenues, royalties, financial data, income and sales tax returns, and other information determined by the franchisor.
