A grant agreement is a negotiated contract that gives a company the right to do business with specific requirements. It can refer to a contract between a foreign company and a government or an agreement that gives a dealer the exclusive right to do business in a particular area.
The term “grant agreement” is used in two slightly different ways in the business world. Both refer to a type of negotiated contract that gives a company the right to do business, with some specific requirements. In a sense, it refers to a contract between a foreign company and a government, in which the company signs a concession agreement so that it can do business in that government’s country. In a second sense, this type of agreement is one that gives the dealer the exclusive right to do business in a particular area or location in exchange for some carefully negotiated terms.
When people talk about contracts with foreign companies, a concession agreement is established between the company and the government of the nation where it wants to do business. The government may want to incentivize the company by lowering taxes, relaxing restrictions, or providing other incentives. In cases where the government is not as enthusiastic, the company may need to make some concessions, such as giving some of the profits to the government or paying a special tax rate that may be higher than domestic companies. Once the agreement is negotiated and signed, the company has the right to do business locally under the terms of the agreement.
Governments can use this type of concession arrangement to provide services that they cannot or will not provide. For example, a concession agreement could be signed with a foreign company to allow it to manage ports or borders.
In terms of an operating concession, the agreement gives the company the exclusive right to operate in a venue such as a sports arena, cruise ship or government building. In this case, the company operates a concession that may sell food, accessories, and a wide variety of other products. You must pay an annual fee for the right to operate, or give up a percentage of your income to the venue. In exchange for this, the venue agrees not to enter into concession agreements with other companies that offer similar products or services.
This type of concession agreement is often used when a venue or company wants to make a product or service available, but does not want to be directly involved. On a cruise ship, for example, the line could operate concessions with restaurants and cafeterias so that it is not responsible for food service. This means the cruise ship is deprived of some of the potential profit, but also issues like legal liability for contaminated food, sourcing staff, and arranging supplies.
