About this gig

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates the sale of franchises through the FTC Franchise Rule. However, many franchisors utilize vague language, omitted disclosures, or aggressive provisions that expose franchisees to severe operational and financial peril.

Hidden, Uncapped, or Discretionary Fees (Ad Funds, Tech Fees, Audit Fees)

Non-compliant Item 19 Financial Claims (EAR omissions)

Excessive Territory Infringement & Encroachment Risks (Item 12)

Unreasonable Restrictive Covenants / Non-Compete Clauses

High Franchisee Default/Closure/Transfer Rates (Item 20)

One-sided Post-Termination Requirements


WHAT YOU GET IN THIS AUDIT:

FTC Rule Compliance Verification Matrix

Complete Red Flag Summary Report (Categorized by High, Medium, and Low Risk)
