This document must be given to your franchisees., <b style=\"color: #035684;\">at least 20 days before signing<\/b> of any franchise agreement. The goal is to offer anyone who wants to join a network the possibility to do so <b style=\"color: #035684;\">knowingly<\/b>. In practice, its disclosure generally occurs once the seriousness of the application is established, in order to protect the confidentiality of the network's strategic data. The DIP thus presents a <b style=\"color: #035684;\">Major issue<\/b> in the relationship between the franchisor and its franchisees. It is indeed on this basis of information that candidates agree or not to join the network. This document must therefore be transparent, objective, and factual, but also presents another major challenge: <b style=\"color: #035684;\">credibility<\/b>.<\/p><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">This

This document must be provided to your franchise candidates at least 20 days before the signing of any franchise agreement. The objective is to give anyone wishing to join a network the opportunity to do so with full knowledge of the facts. In practice, it is usually given once the seriousness of the application has been established, in order to protect the confidentiality of the network's strategic data. The DIP therefore represents a major stake in the relationship between the franchisor and its franchisees. It is indeed on the basis of this information that candidates accept or reject joining the network.
