Why would you want to consider a franchising agreement or software license?
Do you have a company that would benefit from having multiple locations? Do you have software that would be perfect for distribution so long as it’s protected with a franchising agreement through your partners’ websites? Software licenses and franchising agreements can be a good way to protect your brand.
With franchising agreements and software licensing, you get to decide where software is sold. You can decide exactly how it’s distributed through partner channels. Everyone wins in that situation because you’re paid while your partners also make a profit.
The goal of any kind of software license or agreement is to protect your asset and to make sure your brand’s image is upheld. If a partner violates an agreement, you want to have legal standing to hold them accountable for financial losses. You always want to take steps that protect your bottom line, because you’ve worked hard to get where you are today.
