Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we hear most often from businesses approaching franchise and licensing for the first time.

What is included in a franchise agreement prepared by Kembang Legal?

Each franchise agreement we prepare covers the grant of franchise rights, territorial scope, fee and royalty structures, operational standards, training and support obligations, intellectual property usage terms, and provisions relating to renewal and termination. We begin with a consultation to understand your business model before drafting, and we provide support through the negotiation process as well.

Do you work with businesses looking to license their brand across ASEAN?

Yes. Our Licensing Structure and Negotiation service is suitable for businesses entering licensing relationships both locally within Singapore and across ASEAN markets. We advise on the appropriate licensing model — whether single-territory, master licensing, or sub-licensing — and on the royalty structures, quality control mechanisms, and IP protection provisions relevant to each arrangement.

What regulations apply to franchise operations in Singapore?

Franchise businesses in Singapore are subject to requirements across several areas: business registration under ACRA, employment obligations for franchise staff under the Employment Act, personal data protection obligations under the PDPA across the network, and competition law considerations under the Competition Act as they relate to vertical agreements between franchisors and franchisees. Our regulatory compliance service produces a checklist tailored to your franchise model.

How long does it take to draft a franchise agreement?

The timeline depends on the complexity of your business model and how much pre-existing documentation you have. In most cases, after the initial consultation we are able to produce a first draft within 7 to 10 business days. Negotiation and finalisation of the document depends on the other parties involved.

Are your services available to both franchisors and franchisees?

Our advisory services are structured primarily to assist businesses on the franchisor or licensor side — those establishing a franchise system, preparing agreements, or structuring licensing models. If you are a prospective franchisee reviewing a proposed agreement, we can also provide a document review service on a separate engagement basis.

What are the service fees and how are they structured?

Our fees are structured per service engagement: Franchise Agreement Drafting starts from S$160, Licensing Structure and Negotiation from S$350, and Regulatory Compliance advisory from S$650. These are indicative starting points; the actual fee will be confirmed after the initial consultation when we have a clearer picture of the scope of work involved.
