Client Success Stories
“We were expanding through franchisees but had no formal agreement. When one franchisee started operating outside our standards, we had no legal remedy. LegalKonnect fixed that — comprehensive agreement with clear audit and termination rights.”

DelhiFrequently Asked Questions
Stamp Duty Not Included
Government stamp duty charges apply to registered documents and vary by state. These are paid directly to the government and are not part of our service fee. Your advocate will confirm the applicable amount for your state before any document is executed.
No. India does not have a standalone franchise legislation. Franchise agreements are governed by contract law, trademark law, competition law, and sector-specific regulations. This makes the quality of the written agreement even more important.
A franchise fee is a one-time upfront payment for the right to operate under the brand. A royalty is an ongoing periodic payment — typically a percentage of gross revenue — for continued use of the brand, system, and support.
This depends entirely on the agreement. A well-structured agreement defines specific termination triggers — breach of standards, non-payment, insolvency — and requires notice and cure periods before termination. Termination for convenience is possible but should include fair compensation.
Yes, through a multi-unit or master franchise arrangement. These require separate provisions or a distinct Master Franchise Agreement covering sub-franchising rights, development commitments, and fees.
