CHINA FRANCHISE NEWS
Vol. 2 , No. 2 - January 18, 2001
Special Edition: Registration with the China Chain-store and Franchise Association
China officially opened the door to franchising in November 1997 by publishing the Administration of Commercial Franchise Procedures ("Procedures"). These Procedures define and protect the legal rights of franchisors and franchisees. China's government uses the Procedures to welcome and encourage foreign franchisors to set up networks in China.
Also in 1997, China's Internal Trade Ministry set up the China Chain-store & Franchise Association (CCFA), a Beijing-based national, industrial non-profit organization. CCFA is comprised of retail and franchise companies as well as the franchise suppliers that operate throughout China. In accordance with Article 17 of the Procedures, franchisors should record the required documents with CCFA when they franchise their businesses in China. To implement Article 17, CCFA promulgated the Administration of Records of Franchise Enterprises Procedures on January 26, 2000. CCFA recordals are not a compulsory procedure but could provide useful evidence if disputes arise from the franchise business.
Lehman, Lee and Xu represents the interests of international franchisors in China. LLX can assist in drafting the prospectus and supporting registration documents which are designated under the Administration of Records of Franchise Enterprises Procedures to be filed with the China Chain-store and Franchise Association prior to commencing franchise operations.
The list of CCFA members follows. Each member's commonly used trade name follows its full corporate name.
