The Multi Unit Franchise Agreement is a specialized legal document used when a franchisor grants rights to a franchisee to develop and operate multiple franchise units within a defined territory in India. This agreement is more complex than a single-unit franchise agreement as it must address development schedules, territory protection, and cross-unit operational standards. The document is particularly relevant in the Indian market where rapid expansion through franchising has become a popular business growth strategy. It incorporates provisions compliant with Indian legislation, including the Indian Contract Act, Competition Act, and Trademarks Act, while addressing specific multi-unit development aspects. The agreement typically includes detailed schedules for unit development, territory definitions, training requirements, and operational standards that apply across all units. It's designed to protect both the franchisor's brand integrity and the franchisee's development rights while ensuring sustainable business growth.
