The Master Franchise Agreement serves as the foundational document for expanding franchise operations in Nigeria, typically used when a franchisor wishes to develop their brand in the Nigerian market through a local master franchisee. This agreement type is particularly relevant for international franchisors entering the Nigerian market, as it allows for efficient expansion while maintaining brand consistency through a local partner. The document must comply with Nigerian legal requirements, including the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020, relevant intellectual property laws, and foreign investment regulations. It covers crucial aspects such as territory rights, development obligations, fee structures, quality control measures, and sub-franchising provisions. The agreement is designed to protect both parties' interests while facilitating business growth in Africa's largest consumer market.
