What are the legal requirements for franchising my business?

Franchising a business requires following legal requirements set forth by federal and state laws in the United States. Federal law requires the disclosure of certain information to potential franchisees through a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which includes information on the franchisor's financial performance, franchise fees, royalties, and other relevant details. State laws also have specific requirements for franchisors, including registration and filing of the FDD with the state's regulating agency. Failure to comply with these legal requirements can result in costly fines and legal ramifications. It's always best to consult with an attorney who specializes in franchise law to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.
