Zone Booking Contracts: Engage Your Candidates
You have candidates who want to join your brand.
They still have to go through several steps before they can commit to signing your distribution contract: location search, obtaining a bank credit, professional qualification, for example.
However, you have validated that they meet the criteria to become your distributors, incurred costs to assist them in their efforts to this end and wish to incur them by covering these costs.
The solution is to have them sign a preliminary distribution contract, which is often referred to in practice as a zone reservation contract.

Pre-contractual Information Document (dip Loi Doubin)
You grant a right to use a brand and require your distributor to make an exclusivity commitment of some kind (supply, use of software, non-competition for example).
You are then required to deliver pre-contractual information to the regulated content and prove that you have delivered it, at least 20 days before signing the distribution contract.

Recruit a franchisee from another network
As part of the development of your brand, a distributor already operating other brands would like to join you.
They have the capital, skills and, if applicable, locations that you validate and you want to sign a contract with them that allows them to operate your brand.
This situation of opportunity involves legal risks that must be managed: this distributor may have entered into exclusivity commitments with other brands (non-compete clauses for example).

Training of your teams in the management of risks related to the distribution contract
Network developers who make the provisional accounts of your future distributors? You run the risk of nullity of your distribution contracts and ultimately bear the financial risk of your independent distributor!
Network facilitators who encourage distributors to insist on applying the recommended prices? This is potentially a vertical agreement with very heavy financial sanctions.
