smallbusiness.co.uk: Helping your business think big

Whether you can get out of a franchise would really depend of the clauses of the franchise agreement and how vigorous the franchisor is in enforcing it. In view of the circumstances, I would suggest that a meeting with the franchisor would be appropriate with an airing of the main issues (lack of support, mis selling etc). If these are not amicably settled, then a franchise solicitor should be consulted.
