The Franchise Transfer Agreement is a crucial document used when an existing franchisee wishes to transfer their franchise rights and obligations to a new operator in India. This agreement is essential for businesses operating under the franchise model where ownership changes are contemplated while maintaining the franchise system's integrity. The document addresses key aspects such as transfer pricing, asset valuation, intellectual property rights, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance under Indian law. It ensures that the incoming franchisee understands and accepts all obligations while protecting the franchisor's interests and brand value. The agreement must comply with various Indian regulations including the Contract Act, Competition Act, and specific industry regulations, making it a complex but essential tool for franchise business transfers.
