How To Resolve Franchise Disputes

By Mark Kelly


Most people these days know the fact, that if you are aiming for a wealthy lifestyle, a good office job that pays well will never be enough. Which is the main reason why most people who have the enough saving in their accounts. Would make their own business from scratch, buy existing business or invest in franchising an existing business. But what if things do not go as planned and you are no longer in good terms with the owner of the main business, this is where franchise arbitration becomes very handy.

What is arbitration? It is an alternative dispute resolution, which proposes another way to resolve legal problems in between franchisor and franchisee without filing a lawsuit. Arbitration is not something that only one party can decide upon. It must be under mutual agreement, with this it could be in a form of a contract.

They will do so to provide both the franchisor and the franchisee with even resolution, which both parties could agree upon. The terms of arbitration is that both parties must agree to it, arbitration cannot be possible if one is not willing to go through the alternative resolution and would prefer to just sue the other party.

Even in the most common days, in a sense people will always choose to use the easiest method to resolve a conflict. Because what people are mostly worried of when it comes to big scale conflicts. Such would be in business or any franchised business, is the thought of how much it will cost you both in money and time.

If you go through with litigation, aside from spending too much money on that process, you are also heavily burden by the possibility that you may or may not win the filed lawsuit. However, in arbitration the panel composed of the 3 arbitrators will think of a way to end the dispute the best way possible, finding terms you and the other party could agree on.

And these are all unbiased decision, because in a panel 3 legal arbitrators will be in charge in thinking of the best possible way to settle the dispute between the two parties. With 3 professional arbitrators there would not be any room, for any biased decisions.

Because of the fact that in cases where there is a big dispute with the franchisee and the franchisor, the arbitrators will be the guide to assess the situation to come up with a decision that would be favorable for both parties.

Not all franchise business ends up in arbitration, because not all franchisee and franchisor end in disagreement or dispute. As an individual seeking for greener pasture, you must be wise enough in choosing a good business to franchise. A business that you understand, something that you are confident in managing.

In a daily basis most people would always prefer the options, which saves them the most time. Because what is the point of going at it for a long time without proper resolution, you would only be wasting money, and time, that could be useful in rectifying false outlooks and failed plans.
