“We chose Fox because they know franchising. We’ve stayed with them because they know our business, inside and out. They had the resources to meet all our legal needs as our business evolved. They’ve delivered year in, year out.”
- Bruce Violette, President -- Business Partner Franchise Corp.
Good things are built to last. By 2000, entrepreneurs Bruce and Rita Violette had established High Performance Productions, a thriving enterprise located in Irwin, Pennsylvania, that provides outsourced marketing services to small businesses under the trade name Business Partner. When they were ready to branch out, they formed Business Partner Franchise Corp. and turned to a Fox attorney to franchise the concept.
As the business continued to surge forward, the Violettes’ legal needs evolved. More than just help in drafting and updating the franchise disclosure document and related agreements, they needed guidance on managing the state registration process and counsel on more general business issues, including trademarks and litigation.
At Fox, they found not only a trusted franchise advisor, but also a full-service law firm that could handle all their business needs. With seasoned trademark, litigation, and financial services attorneys available to them, the Violettes discovered that working with Fox saved them the hassle and added expense of having to hire new outside advisors.
So when it came time to negotiate the sale of the franchising business, which by then had grown to 35 franchised units, the Violettes knew exactly where to go. And once again, Fox was more than able to help. Fox brought the right resources at the right time to help negotiate an attractive offer. And we did it while keeping costs low and timing prompt. No matter which stage of business you’re in – ready to branch out or ready to sell – Fox is there to help.
