The Fran-Guard course is designed for all franchise professionals, from real estate managers to franchise development professionals, to senior executives to lawyers, and compliance managers. It covers both legal and business aspects of compliance, taught by legal experts, emphasizing that compliance not only reduces risk but can also enhance profits.
