Franchise Services
At Shehab Al Saleh Law Firm & Legal Consultancy, we provide comprehensive franchise services to help you establish your own business under a global brand.
What is a Franchise?
A franchise is a commercial agreement between two parties:
- The franchisor (owner of the brand, product, or service) grants the franchisee the right to operate under their brand name.
- The franchisee runs the business within a specified geographical area and for a fixed period, following the franchisor’s operational guidelines.
Franchising in Saudi Arabia has grown significantly, offering investors lower risk and structured training programs to ensure smooth business operations.
