24 months

  Two separate businesses use the Giani name

  The Giani Ice Cream site (gianiicecream.in) also dates itself to 1956 at Fatehpuri, lists a New Delhi (West Punjabi Bagh) address, and runs its own franchise programme with a separate locator. Giani's (gianisicecream.com) is a different site with different franchise terms. Prospective franchisees should confirm which brand, owner and agreement they are dealing with.

Ask Before You Sign

Questions tailored to what Giani's does and doesn't publish.

1. 1Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
2. 2Ask for the royalty and any marketing-fund fee, and how they're calculated (on sales or profit).
3. 3Ask for the agreement term, renewal fee and exit or transfer terms.
4. 4Ask whether you get an exclusive territory, and how large it is.
5. 5Have a lawyer review the franchise agreement before paying anything.
6. 6Visit 2–3 existing outlets and speak to their owners without the brand present.
