Legal Agreement (What You Need To Know)

Good business means all parties knowing what they're signing up to. Consider these factors before completing your business plan and application form.

Pub Franchises require two legal documents:

  • A full repairing and insuring property lease (the Lease Agreement)
  • A Trade Support Agreement dealing with non-property matters and trading issues

The Trade Support Agreement is also known as the Franchise Agreement.

Pub lease owners must make an initial investment covering:

  • The cost of stock,
  • Fixtures and fittings,
  • Security deposit,
  • Professional and training costs
  • Any improvements to the business you deem necessary.
  • Mitchells & Butlers may charge a lease premium for certain sites

Seek independent legal advice before signing agreements. See investment Start Up Costs.
