Discloing Franchisor Affiliates in a FDD
For both start-up and established franchisors the disclosures contained in your Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”) apply not only to the primary corporate entity that serves as the franchisor but also “affiliated” entities. One example of an “affiliated entity” includes corporate entities that share common ownership with the franchisor.
