Franchise Agreements in Iraq – Legal Framework and Required Procedures

Franchising in Iraq operates under a highly regulated framework.
Unlike many jurisdictions, franchise agreements are not treated as standalone contracts but are typically classified as commercial agency arrangements under Iraqi law. This means franchisors and franchisees must comply with mandatory licensing, registration, and trademark requirements before any commercial activity can legally begin. Careful legal structuring is essential to avoid regulatory delays, contract unenforceability, and potential criminal exposure.
