The State of Nebraska Bureau of Securities has different requirements for filing depending on if you are using a “state specific” Nebraska disclosure document or a “national type” disclosure document. A national type is considered either a Uniform Franchise Offer Circular or a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) in accordance with Federal Trade Commission laws.

However, this disclosure document can only be used within the State of Nebraska and is unnecessary if you develop and maintain a current and compliant “national” FDD developed in accordance with the Federal Franchise Rule. If you are relying on a Nebraska-specific disclosure document under the SAMP Act, the following filing information applies:

In such a case, your filing with the State of Nebraska will be an “exemption notice” where you affirm to the Nebraska Bureau of Securities that your franchise offering complies with the Federal Franchise Rule. You must file:
Filings should be mailed to the State of Nebraska Bureau of Securities at the following address:
