The Licensing Taskforce is considering a licensing regime for the franchising sector.
We welcome views on:
whether to create a regime
how to address harms in the sector
how a regime can work.
This paper outlines elements a regime can include:
regulatory oversight
information disclosure
education and resources
dispute resolution
business model preconditions.
The government set up the Taskforce in response to a recommendation from the Independent Review of the Franchising Code of Conduct.
