Abstract
In this conceptual article, the authors explore the problematic issue of goodwill in franchisee-operated businesses in Australia which creates conflict between franchisors and franchisees in resale or exit events. This article addresses the paucity of research on this topic and establishes why goodwill generated in franchise businesses is different to that in independently operated businesses, and highlights the contractual triggers and regulatory motivations for the identification and valuation of goodwill generated by the franchisee.The article illuminates the salient issues and thereby provides guidance to existing and prospective franchisors when contemplating and structuring their franchise agreements, and suggests areas for further research to address this controversial issue.
