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.
