However, the absence of specific franchise law in the disclosure documents, registration and financial aspects impacts the development of franchise business in Algeria. Therefore, the objectives of the thesis are to examine the legal framework relating to disclosure, registration and financial matters of franchises in Algeria; to analyse the current practice of the stakeholders in Algeria; to analyse the laws relating to franchising in the disclosure, registration and financial in Tunisia, South Africa and Malaysia; and to recommend a model of law to improve franchising in Algeria.

The data collection was through the library-based approach and 12 semi-structured interviews with selected stakeholders from the franchising field. The study discovered several findings: there is an absence of a specific law governing the registration of the franchise business, and no obligation to provide disclosure documents and financial obstacles that prevents franchising development in Algeria.
