Sell or give customers to a franchisee?

[iconic]

Hi All,

We run a window cleaning business that has fairly recently started to franchise...

We have a handful of customers that our operational business has been servicing for a few years that now fall into a new franchisees territory.

Should we sell these customers to the franchisee, or give the customers to them?

What is the usual "franchise etiquette" for this kind of situation?

Thanks

What does it say in the franchise agreement between you and the new franchisee about new and existing customers?
