The FTC requires every franchisor to provide a franchise candidate an FDD which includes 23 Items and exhibits, including the franchisor financials and franchise agreement. The intent of disclosing this information is to enable the prospect to make an informed decision. Although each item is important, some are more important than others. On today's show, Ralph reviews the important parts of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) to help you make a smart decision.
