que franchiseur, vous devez faire signer un DIP, un document d\u2019information pr\u00e9contractuel, \u00e0 votre futur franchis\u00e9. Quelles sont vos obligations, comment tirer parti et utiliser ce document pour d\u00e9marrer votre relation avec votre franchis\u00e9 sur de bonnes bases ? D\u00e9couvrez les explications des experts Cerca ! Qu\u2019est-ce que le DIP ? Le DIP, ou document d\u2019information pr\u00e9contractuel, repose sur la loi Doubin qui encadre les formes de commerces organis\u00e9s. Entr\u00e9e en vigueur le 31 d\u00e9cembre 1989, cette loi permet :\u00a0 au franchiseur de garantir une totale transparence \u00e0 son candidat sur les \u00e9l\u00e9ments concernant son r\u00e9seau, au franchis\u00e9 de prendre une d\u00e9cision en toute connaissance de cause et de signer son contrat avec tous les \u00e9l\u00e9ments en sa possession. \u201cToute personne qui met \u00e0 la disposition d&rsquo;une autre personne un nom commercial, une marque ou une enseigne, en exigeant d&rsquo;elle un engagement d&rsquo;exclusivit\u00e9 ou de quasi-exclusivit\u00e9 pour l&rsquo;exercice de son activit\u00e9, est tenue pr\u00e9alablement \u00e0 la signature de tout contrat conclu dans l&rsquo;int\u00e9r\u00eat commun des deux parties de fournir \u00e0 l&rsquo;autre partie un document donnant des informations sinc\u00e8res, qui lui permette de s&rsquo;engager en connaissance de cause.\u201d La loi a depuis \u00e9t\u00e9 codifi\u00e9e en 2000 par des ordonnances \u00e0 l&rsquo;article L 330-3 du Code de commerce. \u00c0 quoi doit servir le DIP pour vous et votre futur franchis\u00e9 ? Le document d\u2019information pr\u00e9contractuel vous permet de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sentation du r\u00e9seau d\u2019un point de vue administratif, financier, juridique et contextuel. Il apporte de la transparence dans la relation avec votre franchis\u00e9 et lui donne les indications n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 une signature sereine. Il fait \u00e9tat du march\u00e9 sur lequel va se positionner le point de vente.\u00a0 La prise de connaissance du document pr\u00e9contractuel et sa signature n\u2019engagent aucune des deux parties. Seul le contrat de franchise donne effet \u00e0 la relation franchiseur-franchis\u00e9 et \u00e0 ses conditions.\u00a0 Laissez le temps \u00e0 votre futur franchis\u00e9 de prendre connaissance du document et de r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 son engagement. La moindre pression exerc\u00e9e pourrait lui appara\u00eetre \u00e9quivoque et ne jouerait pas en votre faveur. N\u2019attendez pas le dernier moment pour lui remettre et garantissez-lui une disponibilit\u00e9 afin de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 ses \u00e9ventuelles questions.\u00a0 Le candidat \u00e0 la franchise devra prendre ce temps pour approfondir sa lecture du document et bien comprendre tout ce qu\u2019il implique. R\u00e9pondez clairement \u00e0 ses interrogations, la confiance n\u2019en sera que renforc\u00e9e. Pour rassurer le candidat, ne vous limitez pas \u00e0 fournir uniquement les \u00e9l\u00e9ments pr\u00e9vus par la loi. Donnez au futur franchis\u00e9 tout ce qui peut l\u2019aider \u00e0 prendre une d\u00e9cision \u00e9clair\u00e9e. Compl\u00e9tez le document avec le d\u00e9tail du projet pr\u00e9vu \u00e0 ce stade. Pour la r\u00e9daction de votre DIP, vous pouvez la confier \u00e0 l\u2019avocat qui conseille votre r\u00e9seau. Vous serez ainsi assur\u00e9 de la conformit\u00e9 de votre document avec les exigences de la loi. Des experts de la franchise peuvent \u00e9galement vous accompagner dans ce travail. Tous les documents que vous fournirez \u00e0 votre candidat seront aussi le signe du s\u00e9rieux de votre enseigne. Soignez-les ! Vos obligations sur le DIP en tant que franchiseur La loi Doubin est claire : le DIP doit concentrer toutes les informations dont le franchis\u00e9 a besoin pour prendre sa d\u00e9cision et signer le contrat de franchise. Il doit donc lui parvenir dans un d\u00e9lai l\u00e9gal minimum de 20 jours avant la signature du contrat. Pour \u00eatre conforme, le document pr\u00e9contractuel doit comporter un certain nombre d\u2019informations, pr\u00e9vu par l\u2019article 1 du d\u00e9cret Doubin du 1er avril 1991. Le DIP doit contenir : les informations sur la t\u00eate de r\u00e9seau (adresse du si\u00e8ge, nature des activit\u00e9s, forme juridique, identit\u00e9 du ou des dirigeants, capital social) le num\u00e9ro d\u2019inscription au RCS ou au r\u00e9pertoire des m\u00e9tiers de la t\u00eate de r\u00e9seau, le cas \u00e9ch\u00e9ant, la date et le num\u00e9ro d\u2019inscription de la marque au r\u00e9pertoire national des marques la domiciliation bancaire de la t\u00eate de r\u00e9seau, en limitant aux cinq principales domiciliations la date de cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019entreprise, une pr\u00e9sentation de son \u00e9volution et les \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui justifient l\u2019exp\u00e9rience du dirigeant la liste des entreprises qui font partie du r\u00e9seau, en particulier celles qui sont li\u00e9es par le m\u00eame type de contrat que celui qui sera propos\u00e9, leurs adresses, la date de conclusion ou de renouvellement de ces contrats si le r\u00e9seau travaille avec plus de 50 entreprises, la liste de celles qui ont quitt\u00e9 le r\u00e9seau l\u2019ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent la signature et la raison de fin du contrat, ainsi que tous les \u00e9tablissements dans lesquels sont offerts les produits ou services faisant l&rsquo;objet du contrat les caract\u00e9ristiques du contrat propos\u00e9 : sa dur\u00e9e, ses conditions de renouvellement, de r\u00e9siliation ou de cession et le champ des exclusivit\u00e9s Le DIP doit \u00e9galement comporter des annexes pr\u00e9sentant : les comptes annuels des deux derniers exercices ou les rapports \u00e9tablis au titre des deux derniers exercices. Dans le cas o\u00f9 vous ne respecteriez pas les termes de la loi, vous risquez principalement deux sanctions : une amende pr\u00e9vue pour les contraventions de 5e classe, l\u2019annulation du contrat conclu avec le candidat et la remise en l\u2019\u00e9tat de la situation telle qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait avant la signature du contrat.
