Let’s break it down. 👇


⚖️ What Does “Managed Franchise Support” Mean?

🏛️ Already Have a Franchise Law Firm? They Can Use Zors Too!

Zors isn’t exclusive to one law firm.

If you're already working with a trusted franchise attorney or firm, Zors can grant them attorney access to the platform. They’ll be able to:

  • 🔐 View and manage FDD versions for e-sign

  • 🗺️ Oversee territory creation and status

  • 📝 Send contracts for electronic signature directly in-platform

  • 📆 Monitor registration and renewal deadlines

  • 🧾 Upload and store signed agreements for compliance

This feature makes it easy to collaborate with legal counsel in real time — and keeps everyone aligned from sales to compliance.


📆 Why This Matters at Renewal Time (Especially Item 20)

Franchise renewals — particularly Item 20 — require accurate tracking of your franchise system:

  • How many units were opened?

  • How many closed?

  • What’s the current territory status?

  • Which candidates have signed but not opened yet?

With Zors:

  • 🧩 All contracts are linked to active territories and franchisees

  • 📊 Statuses and milestones are tracked

  • 📍 Your attorney doesn’t have to chase you for updated spreadsheets or missing agreements

💡 That means renewals are faster, more accurate, and less expensive.
It also ensures your sales and legal teams are working from the same, real-time source of truth.


🔐 Secure, Compliant, and Built by Franchise Attorneys

What makes Zors different?

Our platform was built from the ground up by a franchise attorney (attorney Derek Colvin at Waldrop & Colvin) and a computer engineer — so we understand the high standards required for compliance and legal clarity. And when you combine that with hands-on management from a firm like Waldrop & Colvin, you unlock:

  • ✅ Smart workflows

  • ✅ Legal oversight

  • ✅ Accurate records

  • ✅ Lower risk

Your team doesn’t need to worry about:

  • Losing documents

  • Working from outdated maps

  • Forgetting to track state renewals

  • Tracking disclosures

  • Overlapping protected areas

It’s all handled — and it’s all visible in one place.
