Want to make a Pilot Franchise but need help

[allbidders]

Hi, I only got a rough understanding of franchising. So I hope to find some
answers here in this forum

I have an auction biz AllBidders Auction this is my world site
I now want to create country specific auction sites.

I'm starting with my UK website Allbidders UK Auction Site

Currently I'm negotiating with someone who would be interested in
taking part as a pilot franchisee.

Could someone please give me a few Ideas on how to set up the
structure for this venture

For instance how would be the commission payments arranged.
Also the franchisee would be entitled to sell on the franchise to another
buyer. Have I got any controll over this as the franchisor?

How and where can I find some contract papers that I could us
to make this deal legal.

Hi,
The entire point of holding a franchise is that you have control of the business ie the branding etc. So I would say that sub franchising should not be allowed.
Whatever you do, you need control of the business.

The year before my son turned 18, he constantly pleaded to beallowed to a tattoo, but I refused to sign permission for one. Heargued that soon he would be a man and he should be able to makeadult decisions. Sure enough, a few days after his 18th birthday,he come home with a tattoo. Although I was riot happy about this,I was curious to see what symbol of masculinity he had chosen. There,on his shoulder, was a two-inch image of Mickey Mouse.

A solid first post!

Thanks for the story Tony. Is there a secret meaning behind it?
