This one day program will answer some of the key questions that arise during the transaction of a business or franchise and diagnose where things can - and do - go wrong. You will consider structuring selection, how to get the most out of your agreement for sale or purchase, and tax and employment issues that need to be thought through and incorporated in to the transaction. Stay for the afternoon and work through specific tax termination and other issues that arise during the life of a franchise.
