Document background
The Franchise Disclosure Agreement is a crucial document required under Dutch law, specifically mandated by the Dutch Franchise Act (Wet franchise) which came into effect on January 1, 2021. This document must be provided to prospective franchisees at least 14 days before entering into a franchise agreement or making any binding commitments. It contains essential information about the franchise system, including financial projections, operational requirements, support systems, and historical performance data. The document serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance, providing transparent disclosure of material information, protecting both parties' interests, and forming the basis for an informed decision by the prospective franchisee. In the Netherlands, failure to provide adequate disclosure or providing misleading information can result in legal consequences, including potential nullification of the franchise agreement.
