ESTIMATE OVERVIEW

AGREEMENT OVERVIEW

In determining the term of a franchise agreement, three factors need to be taken into account:

  1. The franchisee’s need for security and an adequate period to achieve a good return on their investment.
  2. The franchisor’s need to incorporate flexibility into the system in order to facilitate change if the market should dictate.
  3. The nature of the competitive market within the restaurant franchise segment.

FRANCHISE DURATION

After examining current market conditions, we found that competitors offering similar franchises offer five to twenty-year terms with a variety of renewal options.

We have chosen to offer a ten-year term with an unlimited number of five-year renewals.

The return on investment is sufficient to warrant an initial term that is shorter than what is typical for similar franchise offerings.

Colombian Coffee House does not want to de-incentivize the franchisees from continuing the relationship with the franchisor.

This length of term tends to be the market norm today, giving the franchisee a long enough term to have an ROI.

Further, Colombian Coffee House will offer unlimited renewals to the franchisee.
