| Article Title :: Stealing Proprietary Information from Franchising Companies |
| |
| Corporate Espionage is so great in America that competitors will go to lengths to find out what your company has that makes it so much better than everyone else’s. Often they will even go so far as to set up a dummy corporation or LLC and actually go thru the sales process to buy a franchise, sometimes even go thru the purchase process, just to get all the information they need to compete with you, using your proprietary methods.This is why I came up with a clause in our franchise agreements which helped us in knowing who we are dealing with up front and what their interests really are. Below is one of the clauses we use;7.16 Other PartiesIf Franchisee is a partners (read full article) |
