What is a UFOC/FDD, Uniform Franchise Offering Circular/Franchise Disclosure Document?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that certain information be disclosed to potential franchisees before a contract can be signed or any payment made. The information is presented to the prospective franchisee in the form of a document: the UFOC/FDD.
Franchise Registration States
The FTC requires franchisors in every state to provide a UFOC/FDD. In addition, some states require that the offering must first be approved and registered by the state before it can be promoted to prospective franchise buyers. These states include: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Certain states, such as Illinois and Minnesota, have even more stringent requirements for the franchisor.
How Do I Use this Franchise Document?

The UFOC/FDD is most valuable for potential franchisees, potential franchisors, franchisors, investors, financial companies and suppliers to franchisees.
