Decoding the FDD
Anyone considering a U.S. franchise investment is legally entitled to receive a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) before signing on the dotted line. Think of it as the brand's full disclosure file — it lays out the facts you need to weigh the opportunity honestly and decide whether it's the right move for you.
23 Sections
Federal law requires every FDD to follow the same 23-part structure
14-Day Waiting Period
You're legally entitled to at least 14 days with the FDD before signing or paying anything
