For franchisors, Roderick Linton Belfance provides a broad range of services including assisting clients in the creation of a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular to meet Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, guiding clients through the necessary registration requirements, forming the proper business entities to carry on the franchisor's operations, drafting the franchise agreement and negotiating with potential franchisees, and providing ongoing business counseling and litigation support.
