Update your UK franchise disclosure document with legal support

A disclosure update is often prompted by practical changes rather than a single dramatic event. Common triggers include revised franchise fees, changes to support or training, new management details, updated supplier arrangements, a different territory model, or changes in how the network is being marketed to prospective franchisees. If the document no longer matches the information being discussed in recruitment conversations or reflected elsewhere in your franchise paperwork, it is usually time to revisit it. The aim is to bring the document back into line with the current franchise offering.

The issue is usually inconsistency. If a prospect receives a disclosure document that describes an older version of the network, that can create confusion during recruitment and awkward questions later. Problems often arise where fees, support, restrictions, supplier arrangements or key business details have changed but the document has not. Even where the old wording seems minor, mismatched information can weaken confidence in the document and make the overall disclosure process harder to manage. An update helps align the document with the way the franchise is actually being offered now.

Not always. This page is aimed at the disclosure document itself. If your franchise agreement, manuals, recruitment documents and disclosure materials all need coordinated changes, a broader franchisor document update may be the better fit because those documents often need to work together. This service is usually best where the main task is updating the disclosure document, even if some cross-checking issues come up along the way. If the project expands beyond that document into a wider network refresh, we can explain the next step and quote for the extra work separately.

This service covers review and updating work for the disclosure document described on this page. It does not automatically cover a full rewrite of your franchise agreement, a complete operations manual overhaul, tax advice, or ongoing representation in disputes, negotiations or regulator-facing matters. It is also not a full network restructure service. Keeping the scope centred on the disclosure document helps make the work clearer and more predictable. If you need broader franchisor support alongside the update, we can map out what additional documents or advice may be worth addressing next.

Once you engage us, we will ask for the current disclosure document and the key background information about what has changed. We then review the document, raise targeted questions where needed, and prepare the updated wording. You will receive the revised document in an editable form, and we can answer questions about the changes made. If the matter turns out to involve a larger franchise restructure, multiple related documents, or extended negotiations with third parties, that would usually fall outside this fixed-fee and need separate scoping.

Working with us is simple. Start by submitting an enquiry through our website using the form at the top of this page or on our Get Started page. A legal project manager will review your enquiry within 1 business day and reach out to understand your needs.

They'll send you a fixed fee quote outlining costs, scope, and timing. If you're happy, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online. Once that's done, we'll connect you with an expert lawyer who will complete your project via email, phone, or video chat, with the timing confirmed in your quote.
