Franchise Agreement Template
A franchise agreement is the contract between a franchisor and a franchisee that grants the right to operate a business under an established brand. It covers fees and royalties, territory, brand and operating standards, training and support, and the term. Our free franchise agreement template gives franchisors a clear, repeatable starting point for every new franchisee.
Download the template as a Word document, fill in the franchisor, franchisee, fees and territory, then export to PDF or send it for signature. With Portant you can generate a franchise agreement from a Google Sheet of franchisees and collect e-signatures automatically.

Benefits of a franchise agreement template
Eliminate unnecessary manual work
Stop spending hours copying and pasting data from spreadsheets into documents. Portant automates the entire process, pulling data directly from your source and generating completed documents in seconds. Focus on the work that matters, not repetitive formatting tasks.

Manual document creation leads to errors, from wrong names to outdated figures. Portant maps data fields directly to your template, eliminating typos and ensuring every document is accurate and consistent. Your team sends fewer corrections and your clients get the right information every time.
Built into Google Workspace
Portant works natively with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail. There is no new interface to learn, no data to export, and no switching between tools. Your team stays in the apps they already use while Portant handles the document generation in the background.
