FRANCHISE FINANCE
With a long history of representing lenders in franchise finance transactions,
Lowis & Gellen attorneys also provide substantive counsel and representation
to franchisors and franchisees in the finance, cash management and operations
of companies in diverse industries, services and specialties. Our understanding
of the legal issues involved in establishing, modifying and terminating franchise
businesses and their contract agreements is comprehensive. Whether the client has
financing from conventional or private sources, we develop, negotiate and document
pragmatic franchise finance arrangements, and our knowledgeable attorneys provide
well-informed assistance with the structural and taxation issues confronting franchise
operations.
We have particular strength in those areas of franchise financing that relate to
construction – negotiating and documenting construction loan agreements for building
new stores, remodeling and retrofitting existing stores, purchase and sale agreements
for the acquisition of new stores, as well as in the sale of stores and equipment to
new owner/operators.
