Franchise Disclosure Register

The Franchise Disclosure Register is a legal requirement for all franchisors. Failing to add your details to the Franchise Disclosure Register is a breach of the Franchising Code of Conduct and could result in legal penalties. Getting expert help can help you avoid issues and make sure everything is completed properly.

Our package starts from $1,200 + GST and includes:

• Appointment of Sprintlaw as your agent/authorised representation/authorised administrator on the Franchise Disclosure Register
• Completion and publication of your details on the Franchise Disclosure Register
• A 30-minute phone consultation with a Sprintlaw lawyer to answer any questions
• Optional: if required, setting up your account on the register

The Franchise Disclosure Register is generally relevant to franchisors who are required to maintain and publish certain franchise information under Australian franchising laws. Whether your business needs to be listed, and what information must be provided, can depend on your franchise structure and circumstances.

We can help you work out whether the register applies to your business and assist with preparing the required information for lodgement.

We handle everything by phone, email and video call, so you never need to visit an office. Once you request a quote, one of our legally trained consultants will get back to you within one business day with a fixed-fee proposal. If you accept, we will pair you with a specialist lawyer who will guide you through the process. All documents are delivered digitally, and you can communicate with your lawyer in the way that suits you best. It is the same quality legal advice you would get from a traditional firm, just without the commute, hourly billing surprises or the formality.
