Licensing Your Method

You are not licensing a method — you are licensing your name to be used, unsupervised, by someone you cannot fire on Tuesday.

legalany — franchise disclosure, trade mark, competition and employment-status rules are jurisdiction-specific and routed to specialist counsel throughoutAny — the output language is set by youfirst-party

What it is

The "someone asked to run my model in their city" conversation, turned into a decision instead of a flattered yes. Tests whether the value sits in a documented method or in the founder, names which of four structures is actually being proposed — certification, licence, franchise, or an employment relationship wearing a contract — then prices, packages and polices it before a territory is promised. For founders, consultants and studio owners whose method outgrew the calendar.

What you receive

a decision and a structure for letting other people deliver your thing — the verdict on whether the business is licensable, the choice between certification, licence and franchise with their very different obligations, the package that makes a licensee capable, the commercial terms with fee, territory, term and exit, and the quality control and trade mark position without which the licence destroys the brand
