Abstract

ABSTRACT The first step to starting a franchise business is to provide disclosure documents. What are the main legal issues relating to disclosure in Algeria and is the current practice of the stakeholders in the aspects of disclosure under the franchise business in Algeria. The main objective is to examine the legal framework issues relating to disclosure and to analyse the current practice of the stakeholders in the aspects of disclosure under the franchise business in Algeria. The doctrinal legal method complemented with qualitative interview was used. The armchair library approach was employed to collect data. The findings show that: there are significant benefits of disclosure documents in the franchise to protect the interests of the franchisee. However, Algeria does not cover the obligation of providing the disclosure documents by franchisor to prospective franchisee. The results also show that the practice of franchise activities related to disclosure currently is carried out by the parties without disclosure documents.
