The Franchise Development Agreement is a strategic document used when a franchisor wishes to expand their franchise system through a developer who will establish multiple units within a defined territory. This agreement is particularly important in the Danish market, where it must comply with both local commercial law and EU regulations, as Denmark lacks specific franchise legislation. The document outlines development schedules, territorial rights, financial obligations, and operational requirements, serving as the framework for future unit franchise agreements. It's typically used for larger scale franchise expansions where the developer takes on significant responsibility for growing the brand in their assigned territory. The agreement must carefully balance the interests of both parties while ensuring compliance with Danish contract law, EU competition regulations, and relevant sector-specific requirements.
