As your selection process narrows, you will be receiving an FDD from a franchisor. The purpose of the Franchise Disclosure Document is to provide prospective franchisees with information about the franchisor, the franchise system, and the agreements they will need to sign so that they can make an informed decision. The FDD will also contain a list of franchisees and their contact information. We recommend that you speak with as many franchisees as you can to gain an understanding of what it's like to operate a franchise unit in their system.
