If you’re considering franchising as your next growth step, this free webinar explains the legal foundations your real estate or property business needs before expanding.
Every real estate and property business wants to grow. But when organic expansion slows, finding the next step is not always straightforward.
Franchising is often seen as a sensible way to enter new markets. It can extend your brand, unlock new revenue and support long-term growth, especially when backed by capable local operators.
For franchising to succeed, however, you must have the right legal foundations in place. Franchising is a regulated model with specific rules around recruiting franchisees and managing the network. Establishing the right structure early helps protect your brand, support strong franchisee relationships and enable sustainable expansion.
5 Tips For Successfully Franchising Your Real Estate Business
- Confirm your business model is franchise-ready. Your systems, processes and brand should be proven and repeatable before expansion. Franchising works best when franchisees can confidently replicate your model.
- Understand your franchising obligations early. Franchising laws impose strict rules around disclosure and timing. Early preparation helps avoid delays and ensures franchisees receive clear, accurate information.
- Protect your brand and intellectual property. Register key trade marks and clearly define how franchisees may use your branding, marketing materials and systems to maintain consistency across the network.
- Put clear franchise agreements in place. Well-drafted agreements set expectations around fees, territory, training, marketing and exits, helping reduce misunderstandings as your network grows.
- Plan for ongoing network management. Franchising involves long-term legal responsibilities, including renewals, variations and compliance. A structured approach supports healthy franchisee relationships.
