Regulations for the franchise sector

What changes?

Are you a franchisee or franchiser? There will be official regulations for the franchise sector. These will strengthen the position of the franchisee. The regulations will cover four areas:

• the exchange of information before closing the franchise contract
• changing an existing franchise contract
• the consultation between a franchiser and their franchisees
• ending a franchise collaboration

A new law will state the minimum of critical information the franchiser needs to give before the franchise contract is closed.

For whom?

• entrepreneurs who are franchisers
• entrepreneurs who are franchisees

When?

The law concerning franchises will come into effect on 1 January 2021.
