If you are a franchisor (or a current or potential franchisee) you would have come across the requirements for franchises under consumer protection laws (like the CPA) and also under data protection law (like POPIA). To help you comply with the law, we provide a few specific franchise-related services. Whos is responsible for what? Who owns the data? When can databases be used for marketing purposes? How can you direct market to prospects electronically? Who is liable when things go wrong?

How can we help you?

  1. Comply with data protection laws by joining the Michalsons data protection programme.
  2. Be aware of the consumer and data protection requirements by asking us to conduct a seminar, workshop, webinar or executive briefing on the consumer protection or data protection requirements for franchises.
  3. Have up-to-date franchise agreements and disclosure documents that comply with the CPA, the FASA rules and data protection laws by asking us to review your current agreements or asking us to draft new templates for you.
