February 2008 

Q: I intend franchising my business. Can I ask for a franchise fee and is it permissible to collect royalty on turnover.

A:

According to our research leasing out of registered intellectual property is permissible. Hence, you may charge a fee for leasing out your franchise name. Charging royalty on turnover is acceptable provided it is capped by a fixed figure.
