What You’ll Learn

The Franchising Code imposes strict rules on how franchisors collect, administer, and disclose specific-purpose funds.

Fail to maintain separate accounts, meet disclosure deadlines or use funds correctly, and you may face disputes, ACCC scrutiny or claims from franchisees.

To help you meet your specific purpose fund obligations and stay compliant with the Franchising Code, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on Meeting Your Franchisor Obligations: Specific Purpose Funds and Disclosure.

Join us on Tuesday, 22 September, at 11 am AEST, when Annalise Catania (Practice Leader) and Joseph Harman (Lawyer) will discuss:

specific purpose funds: what qualifies under the Franchising Code and the obligations when franchisees contribute;
fund administration: maintaining separate accounts, tracking contributions and using funds for their stated purpose;
disclosure requirements: what fund information must appear in your disclosure document, before and during the franchise relationship; and
managing compliance risk: practical steps to prevent common administration and disclosure issues.

Attend the webinar live and you will be entered into our monthly draw to win Apple AirPods. Simply share your contact details during the webinar to take part.
