The Master Franchise Agreement is a crucial document used when a franchise business wishes to expand its operations through a master franchisee structure in or from Malta. This agreement type is particularly relevant for international franchisors looking to leverage Malta's strategic position in the Mediterranean and its EU membership for regional expansion. The Master Franchise Agreement encompasses all essential elements required under Maltese law and EU regulations, including detailed provisions for territory rights, development obligations, sub-franchising procedures, quality control measures, and ongoing operational requirements. It serves as the primary contract governing the relationship between the original franchisor and the master franchisee, who will be responsible for developing the franchise system within the designated territory. The document must comply with Maltese commercial law, EU regulations, and industry best practices while protecting both parties' interests and ensuring systematic business expansion.
