Q: Can a "New Franchisor" use an Unaudited Balance Sheet in its Initial FDD.
A: Yes - but for an extremely limited period. For "start-up" franchisors there are some exceptions respecting the disclosure of "audited" financial statements. That is, for a proscribed and limited period a new franchisor may utilize unaudited financial statements.
