Re: franchise contract
You are strongly advised to arrange a meeting with a lawyer with your Franchise Agreement and other business documents to work out what you can do. This is not a question that can be answered without more information.
What can be said is that the Franchise Agreement may still be valid even if a Director of the Franchisor did not sign it. It may have been signed by someone with authority delegated by the Franchise company.
