Four Steps to Ensure Accuracy in Your Written Communications
| |
| Think of written materials like a shop window—the transparency a well-put-together document affords a company is most likely the best advertisement they can get. However, any mistakes that are not caught and get into print or published online reflect badly on not only the writer, but on the entire organization or publication as well. When a document has inaccuracies, readers tend to distrust everything, including the statistics, opinions, and facts. |

What exactly is a Business Purchase Letter of Intent or LOI?

| What exactly is a Business Purchase Letter of Intent or LOI?
This seems like a very scary document but actually it's not. Technically, a business purchase letter of intent is really a non-binding agreement that says "I would like to buy your business for an asking price of $XXXX with contingency stipulations A, B, and C but first I want to take a closer look at your business".
Again, it seems complicated but it's really a very simple semi-legal looking document that gets the ball rolling.
So let's take a look aT this very important document that protects the buyer while spelling out due diligence items, the initial offer and many of the details that will eventually be part of the final purchase agreement.

Special Issues for an Area Representative
| |
| An area representative is best described as a "super" franchise broker and servicing agent for the franchisor. You will be disclosed in ITEMS 2, 3 and 4 of the franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document with your 5-year biography and litigation and bankruptcy history if you will have management responsibility relating to the sale or operation of franchises. An area representative differs from a subfranchisor in that the area representative uses the franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document and the franchise agreement is signed directly between the franchisor and the franchisee. The area representative is not a party to the franchise agreement. Under the area representative agreement between the franchisor and the area representative, the franchisor delegates to the area representative certain of the servicing and support obligations |
