> US franchise disclosure and registration compliance: the FTC Franchise Rule (16 CFR Part 436) governing Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) requirements, and state franchise registration and relationship statutes — grounded exclusively in ftc.gov and state franchise regulatory agency publications. General reference only, never a substitute for review of an actual FDD or counsel.
