What does the claim include?
Investment in premises, staff, stock and marketing that served the principal's brand, lost profit for a reasonable period, and unsold stock or outstanding receivables. Goodwill is argued with sales growth and market share evidence.
How is it proved?
Sales history, margin analysis, marketing spend, staff and premises costs, stock records and customer data. We prepare a financial case with the accounts before filing, and often an expert report.
What can weaken it?
Poor records, previous breaches by the agent, or a clause that the principal says justified termination. We review the whole relationship, not only the end. See termination disputes.
