What Franchisors Need To Know About The 2025 Franchising Code Of Conduct
The new Franchising Code of Conduct, effective 1 April 2025, introduces key changes for franchisors, including more civil penalties, requirements for compensation on early termination, and updates on disclosure documents. Some provisions, like compensation for early termination, will only apply from November 2025. Franchisors need to review and update their agreements to stay compliant with the new rules. Make sure you're ready for the changes by getting your documents and processes reviewed ahead of time!
