1. First be sure that they will not be able to start their business or you are no more interested to be their Franchisee,

2. If decided send a legal notice to them asking for the money you have already spent on them,

3. If not responded favourably, file a recovery suit before the Court.

Both the parties are bound by the terms of the agreement.

Since one and half month has already passed, legally speaking the other side is bound to compensate you for the delay it causes.

However the compensation may vary or differ if the agreement speaks of something else.

So before making any final comment, it is very important to look into the contents of the franchisee agreement especially compensation part.

Only after knowing the contents of the franchisee agreement opinion can be given.
