I am pleased to announce the LFA’s latest edition of its popular publication: “Franchising Brands in Lebanon”.

In the context of the unprecedented times Lebanon is traversing, this particular edition is a testament to the resiliency of the LFA's vibrant community of brands, and an acknowledgement of the invaluable support our partners and sponsors provide.

As President of the LFA, it is my duty to remain as optimistic as possible about what the future holds for us. It fills me with great pride to see that despite economic difficulties, political uncertainty, and COVID lockdowns, the LFA and its members opted to remain resilient and hopeful about our capacity to overcome these challenges and to thrive once again.

This deeply rooted belief in Lebanon, and the LFA’s abundant qualities is a sentiment I share with all of you. Looking back, I can only be proud of the milestones that our members and sector had reached before the unfolding of this crisis. And through these roots, we will remain steadfast in the face of adversity to come out of the storm stronger that ever.

I firmly believe that Franchising must remain a fundamental player in the Lebanese economy, and I am confident that with the right partners, regaining economic dynamism and growth will be within our reach. That is why, the LFA, and myself, will endeavor to safeguard the hard work and investments that were made in the sector so that we can continue our journey of success.

I seize this opportunity to thank our members and community for their continued support.

Yahya Kassaa President of the Lebanese Franchise Association

CODE OF ETHICS

DEFINITION OF FRANCHISING Franchising is a system of marketing goods and/or services and/or technology, which is based upon a close and ongoing collaboration between legally and financially separate and independent undertakings, the Franchisor and its Individual Franchisees whereby the Franchisor grants its Individual Franchisees the right, and imposes the obligation to conduct a business in accordance with the Franchisor’s concept. The right entitles and compels the Individual Franchisee, in exchange for a direct or indirect financial consideration, to use the Franchisor’s trade name, and/or trade mark and/or service mark knowhow*, business and technical methods, procedural system, and other industrial and/or intellectual property rights, supported by continuing provision of commercial and technical assistance, within the framework and for the term of a written franchise agreement, concluded between the parties to this purpose.

• *“Know-how” means a body of non-patented practical information, resulting from experience and testing by the Franchisor, which is secret, substantial and identified.

• “Secret” means that the know-how, as a body or in the precise configuration and assembly of its components, is not generally known or easily accessible; it is not limited in the narrow sense that each individual component of the knowhow should be totally unknown or unobtainable outside the Franchisor’s business.

• “Substantial” means that the know-how includes information which is of importance for the sale of goods or the provision of services to end users, and in particular for the presentation of goods for sale, the processing of goods in connection with the provision of services, methods of dealing with customers, and administration and financial management.
