The Individual Franchise Agreement serves as the primary legal instrument for establishing and governing the relationship between a franchisor and a single franchisee in Pakistan. This document is essential when a business wishes to expand its operations through franchising while maintaining control over its brand, operational standards, and business model. The agreement is structured to comply with Pakistani legal requirements, including provisions from the Contract Act 1872, Competition Act 2010, and relevant commercial legislation. It details the grant of franchise rights, operational requirements, fee structures, training obligations, quality control measures, and termination conditions. The document is particularly important in the Pakistani market where franchising continues to grow as a business expansion strategy, requiring careful attention to local business practices, cultural considerations, and legal compliance.
