What is a franchise registration state?

 

A: Franchise registration states are states which require a franchisor to provide pre-sale disclosures, known as "offering circulars" or a "franchise disclosure document", to potential purchasers. Prior to being able to offer or sell a franchise in a franchise state the franchise must be registered with the specific state and a copy of the franchise disclosure documents must be filed with the state and updated annually or based on the specific state's franchise laws.
