Uno Chicago Grill
A franchise agreement takes place when the concerned parties involved are bound together through certain contractual provisions. This is an arrangement whereby someone with an idea for a business, the franchisor, sells to another person the franchisee the rights to use the business's name, sell a product, or provide a service to someone else. A franchise agreement will usually specify the given territory the franchisee retains exclusive control over the area protection, as well as the extent to which the franchisee will be supported by the franchisor.
