What is a franchise royalty clause?

A franchise royalty clause is a provision in a franchise agreement that requires compensation ("royalty") to the franchisor for the right to use the franchisor's protected, branded intellectual property (usually bearing a "TM" or an "R" or "S" with a circle around it which indicates a federally registered trademark, or "C" with or without circle that means there is a federally registered copyright). It can also be for something that is a patented product owned by the franchisor or one of its affiliates and is used in connection with the franchise.

For example, if you have a McDonald's franchise, you pay as part of your franchise fee royalties to McDonald's for use of all of their branded marks: the golden arches, the company name itself including the various shapes of the lettering, names like "Big Mac" and "Quarter-Pounder", etc. And when you are required to buy supplies, such as paper napkins and straws, that are required to have the McDonald's logos on them, you are most likely paying the supplier a royalty as part of the cost of the product, that they in turn have to pay to McDonald's again for the use of the logo and name on their products.

Many business owners successfully franchise their own businesses using franchise documents bought from vendors on the web, just as many people look to buy forms such as bill-of-sales from web vendors.

I would definitely buy only from a US company and from one using credit cards not Paypal.

You can't. Disney no longer owns the Disney Store chain. It was sold to the same company that owns the Build-A-Bear stores. Even if Disney still actually owned the Disney Stores, it is not something that is franchised out like a Taco Bell.

You can sell authentic Disney merchandise with your own store though.

What are the steps in setting up a trailer?

Answer

I can tell you what I saw the installers do when they set up our trailer years ago. First you have to have a concrete pad that has hurricane strap anchors in it. Next the trailer needs to be leveled. They used large jacks and shimmed it using concrete block peices. Then the wiring, plumbing, and duct work is ran. Then the insulation for the bottom of the trailer is done. Lastly is the underpinning or whatever method of inclosing the bottom perimeter of the trailer. That's all I can tell you. Good luck.

What are the royalty fees associated with the Dominos pizza franchise?

I was a Domino's Franchisee in the UK until 2010 (so I don't know if they've changed since) but it was approx 12% of your sales after the VAT was deducted.

This was payable to corporate for not only the use of the brand name, image and logo's, but also included a contribution to the national advertising fund (NAF) - for instance the sponsoring of The Simpson's on Sky One and Channel 4 and Britain's Got Talent on ITV

This figure may be different in other markets and represent other contributions.

HTH??
