836599528_37393-37859 | There are a number franchise businesses which are not members of the BFA and many which do not meet the BFA membership criteria . Part of the BFA 's role in self - regulation is to work with franchisors through the application process and recommend changes which will lead to the franchise business meeting BFA standards . A number of businesses that refer to themselves as franchises do not conform to the BFA Code of Ethics are therefore excluded from membership . | Franchising |
836599528_37860-38917 | On 22 May 2007 , hearings were held in the UK Parliament concerning citizen - initiated petitions for special regulation of franchising by the government of the UK due to losses incurred by citizens who had invested in franchises . The Minister of Industry , Margaret Hodge , conducted hearings but saw no need for any government regulation of franchising with the advice that government regulation of franchising might lull the public into a false sense of security . Mr Mark Prisk MP suggested that the costs of such regulation to the franchisee and franchisor could be prohibitive and would in any case provide a system which mirrored the work already being completed by the BFA . The Minister of Industry indicated that if due diligence were performed by the investors and the banks , the current laws governing business contracts in the UK offered sufficient protection for the public and the banks . The debate also made reference to the self - regulatory function performed by the BFA recognizing that the association `` punched above its weight '' . | Franchising |

836599528_39218-39917 | Modern franchising came to prominence with the rise of franchise - based food service establishments . In 1932 , Howard Deering Johnson established the first modern restaurant franchise based on his successful Quincy , Massachusetts Howard Johnson 's restaurant founded in the late 1920s . The idea was to let independent operators use the same name , food , supplies , logo and even building design in exchange for a fee . The growth in franchising accelerated in the 1930s when such chains as Howard Johnson 's started to franchise motels . The 1950s saw a boom in franchise chains in conjunction with the development of the U.S. Interstate Highway System and the growing popularity of fast food . | Franchising |

836599528_40120-41125 | The FTC requires that the franchisee be furnished with a Franchise Disclosure Document ( FDD ) by the franchisor at least fourteen days before money changes hands or a franchise agreement is signed . The final agreement is always a negotiated document setting forth fees and other terms . Whereas elements of the disclosure may be available from third parties , only that provided by the franchisor can be depended upon . The U.S. Franchise Disclosure Document ( FDD ) is lengthy ( 300 -- 700 pp + ) and detailed ( see Uniform Franchise Offering Circular ( UFOC ) for elements of disclosure ) , and generally requires audited financial statements from the franchisor in a particular format , except in some circumstances , such as where a franchisor is new . It must include such data as the names , addresses and telephone numbers of the franchisees in the licensed territory ( who may be contacted and consulted before negotiations ) , estimate of total franchise revenues and franchisor profitability . | Franchising |
836599528_41126-41781 | Individual states may require the FDD to contain their own specific requirements , but the requirements in state disclosure documents must be in compliance with the federal rule that governs federal regulatory policy . There is no private right of action of action under the FTC rule for franchisor violation of the rule , but fifteen or more of the states have passed statutes that provide this right of action to franchisees when fraud can be proven under these special statutes . The majority of franchisors have inserted mandatory arbitration clauses into their agreements with their franchisees , some of which the U.S. Supreme Court has dealt with . | Franchising |
836599528_41782-42044 | There is no federal registry of franchises or any federal filing requirements for information . States are the primary collectors of data on franchising companies and enforce laws and regulations regarding their presence and their spread in their jurisdictions . | Franchising |

836599528_42233-42631 | In recent years , the idea of franchising has been picked up by the social enterprise sector , which hopes to simplify and expedite the process of setting up new businesses . A number of business ideas , such as soap making , wholefood retailing , aquarium maintenance , and hotel operation have been identified as suitable for adoption by social firms employing disabled and disadvantaged people . | Franchising |

836599528_43802-44444 | Event franchising is the duplication of public events in other geographical areas , retaining the original brand ( logo ) , mission , concept and format of the event . As in classic franchising , event franchising is built on precisely copying successful events . An example of event franchising is the World Economic Forum , also known as the Davos forum , which has regional event franchisees in China , Latin America , etc . Likewise , the alter - globalist World Social Forum has launched many national events . When The Music Stops is an example of an events franchise in the UK , in this case , running speed dating and singles events . | Franchising |

819091951_3720-5133 | While seeking material for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack , Republic Records contacted various artists , managers and music publishers to create a compilation that would appropriately represent the film 's tone . `` Love Me like You Do '' was the result of Republic executive Tom Mackay contacting Max Martin 's manager about writing a song for the film . Ilya started writing the chorus , while Ali Payami and Martin came next , with Martin `` tweaking '' the song and Savan Kotecha and Tove Lo also contributing with lyrics . According to Kotecha , `` Love Me Like You Do '' was already being developed by both him and Martin prior to Fifty Shades of Grey , and he had considered giving the song to American singer Demi Lovato . However , after being shown a scene from the film during a meeting for the film 's soundtrack , Martin thought ' Love Me Like You Do ' could work , and began reworking the song for inclusion . After that , the film director Sam Taylor - Johnson asked Ellie Goulding to sing the song . Goulding , who previously contributed songs to the soundtracks to The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 , The Hunger Games : Catching Fire , and Divergent , initially thought about declining the invitation to record another song for a soundtrack to focus on her then upcoming third studio album , however after meeting the film crew and hearing the ballad she accepted . She commented : | Love Me like You Do |
819091951_5134-5722 | `` I was n't going to get involved in that soundtrack because I 've done a lot of soundtracks and we kind of thought we 've done a bit too much film stuff . So we should probably just chill and write that third album , which is what I should be focusing on . And then I met the director ( Sam Taylor - Johnson ) and everyone involved and I was like , ' This is a pretty cool thing to be involved in . ' Then I heard the song and I was like , ' Woah , this is a pretty awesome song . ' I did n't know that it was going to be this big , genuinely . I thought ( maybe ) it would do well . '' | Love Me like You Do |

'' Lyrically , `` Love Me like You Do '' contrasts `` innocent romantic longing '' and `` brooding , addictive , pain - laced sensuality '' , which according to Plugged In 's Adam R. Holz , `` mirrors the story arc of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey '' in both the book and the film . He went on to explain its lyrical content : `` ( It ) tells the tale of a woman entranced and seduced by someone whose touch leaves her begging for more , even when -- or perhaps especially when -- it hurts .

'' Christina Garibaldi of MTV News also called it `` sultry '' and `` soft '' , adding that `` we can totally picture it being played during any steamy scene . '' Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone opined that its `` results are grandiose , considering the film 's sensual subject matter . '' Jim Farber of the NY Daily News praised her `` little - girl - lost voice '' , noting that `` Goulding sounds sweet even when she 's courting danger . The music , likewise , goes for a high gloss take on romance , recalling the heavily echoed beats and dense synthesizers of a Phil Collins ballad from the ' 80s . '' Robbie Daw of Idolator described `` Love Me like You Do '' as `` a sweeping power ballad that finds Goulding delivering soft , understated vocals over producer Max Martin 's swelling bed of synths . '' Lucas Villa of AXS commended Goulding for `` masterfully tread ( ing ) between delicacy and power in her performance '' , calling the song `` intimately magnificent '' . Glenn Gamboa of Newsday called it `` sweet , catchy , near - perfect rom - com fare '' . | Love Me like You Do |

Her breathy vocals , as always , complete the atmospheric sensibility of the track . '' While reviewing the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack , Dave Holmes wrote for Esquire that the song was `` ( t ) he closest thing to a single we 've heard so far '' , adding that the song has `` a touch of longing , a little bit of a beat '' and `` Goulding 's voice is the sound of heavy petting . '' Mikael Wood , writing for Los Angeles Times , said that Goulding `` put across a tender sensuality ( ... ) even as super-producer Max Martin jacks the stadium - rave beat . '' Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic , in his soundtrack analysis , wrote that `` it moves into the area of background romantic music , a vibe that 's sometimes pierced by those overly familiar oldies that surely play a bigger role onscreen than they do on album . '' In a less favourable review , Jason Lipshutz of Billboard gave the song two and a half stars out of five , complimenting Goulding 's voice as `` one of pop 's more distinct voices '' and the tune 's `` colossal chorus '' , but panning its `` cliched lyrics '' . | Love Me like You Do |
