The Accidental Franchise
| |
| Ontario introduced franchise legislation in 2000. PEI introduced a similar law in 2006. However, many business continue to operate without regard to whether they are a franchise or not.
This article considers the factors that businesses need to analyse in order to determine if they are a franchise.
Hiding your head in the sand is not an option. Failure to comply with franchise legislation can lead to unbelievably severe consequences, including liability in a class action proceeding, personal liability of officers and directors, and a requirement to pay back every penny invested by franchisees in acquiring and operating their franchise.
Many systems who consider themselves to be distributorships ARE FRANCHISES. What you call yourself is not important--it is the substance of the relationship that will determine your fate. |

How to Deal with Difficult Business Partners
| |
|
All successful companies have one thing in common. On average, they carry more assets than they do liabilities. These companies are also quick to take note when something that was once an asset now has become a liability. They either try to make this new liability an asset again or they swiftly remove it from the company. This process may sound easy enough unless the liability you are thinking of is your relationship with your business partner. |

ESCALATION AS A NEGOTIATION STRATEGY

Beware Time Liabilities
| |
| Are you surrounded by Time Liabilities? I define a Time Liability as:
a) anything that consumes time unnecessarily or
b) anything that causes you to spend time in activities that are less profitable than your most profitable activity.
If your filing system causes you to spend extra time doing $9 per hour clerical work, trying to find that important document you misplaced, then you have a Time Liability. If your workspace is so uncomfortable that you have to spend time at a chiropractor every month to correct your spine alignment problems, you definitely have a Time Liability! |

Insurance Defense Costs
| |
| Does Your Business Insurance Policy Cover Defense Costs Within the Insurance Limit or Defense Costs Outside of the Insurance Limit?
Did you know that a liability policy, which is part of any typical business insurance policy or commercial insurance policy coverage, has two distinct obligations? A liability insurance policy, if it is a general liability, product liability or professional liability insurance policy is designed to protect you against your legal obligation to pay others because you have hurt them and/or have damaged their property. A policy also defends you against claims or lawsuits. In other words, besides paying for claims or suits, a liability policy also pays for their related legal costs and court fees. |
