The Franchise Broker Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to expand their franchise operations through professional intermediaries in Belgium. This document is typically used when a franchisor wishes to engage a specialized broker to facilitate franchise network expansion. The agreement covers crucial elements required under Belgian law, including pre-contractual information obligations, service scope, territory definitions, and compensation structures. It addresses specific requirements of Book X of the Belgian Code of Economic Law regarding commercial partnerships and incorporates necessary compliance measures for EU regulations. The document is particularly important for maintaining clear professional boundaries, establishing performance metrics, and ensuring transparent compensation mechanisms in franchise brokerage relationships. A well-structured Franchise Broker Agreement also helps manage risk and establish clear expectations for all parties while ensuring compliance with Belgian and EU legal frameworks.
