Step 1: Learn About Our Licensing Model

Before you dive in, take the time to explore and understand what makes our license model different.

This conversation will give you the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the process, and assess if The Goat Deli aligns with your business goals.

Review this agreement carefully with a legal or business advisor to ensure that you fully understand the terms of the partnership.
