Orlando Franchise Disclosure Lawyer

The Required Franchise Disclosure Document

At the Law Offices of Richard Franzblau LLC, we provide clients nationwide with superior franchise law and business transactions services. Centrally located from our office in Orlando, Florida, we have extensive franchise law experience. From the sale or financing of a franchise purchase to registration and disclosure requirements, we can provide you with the detail-oriented and effective franchise law representation you need.

Every franchisor must provide specific financial disclosures. Originally known as the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular ("UFOC"), and, after a recent revision in the FTC Rule, now known as the Franchise Disclosure Document ("FDD"). This is a highly regulated area of the law both at the state and federal levels. We will help you with your FDD and make sure all the specific requirements are met.

Contact us at today to schedule a no-cost initial consultation regarding your FDD or other franchise law matter.

Below is the required disclosure format of the FDD:
