In short
This is the contract between a sub-franchisor and an individual franchisee, outlining the terms for operating a single franchised unit. If you're buying a sub-franchisor, you need to understand these agreements as they govern your relationship with your franchisees.
For a sub-franchisor acquisition, these agreements represent your revenue stream and obligations to your franchisees. Review them to understand fees, support requirements, and compliance. Ensure they align with the broader master franchise agreement.
