Are you a new franchise, or looking to become one? The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have recently released a new checklist to help you make an informed decision before signing a retail lease agreement.

The checklist is a simple and user-friendly tool to help you understand the factors involved. It includes information on:

  • contractual obligations
  • renewal and transfer options
  • occupancy costs
  • franchise territory.

A free copy of the checklist can be received by calling the ACCC Small Business Helpline, or by downloading a copy at the ACCC website .
