What the sales deck won't lead with

Descriptive, FDD-cited disclosures — read them before discovery day.

▲The FDD discloses: The Special Risks section explicitly states the franchisor's financial condition calls into question its ability to provide services and support; financial statements are audited but the front-matter risk disclosure flags this concern.(Special Risks, p.v; Item 21, p.76)

▲The FDD discloses: Franchisor began offering franchises in 2019 and is at an early stage of development, making this a riskier investment than a more established system.(Special Risks, p.v; Item 1, p.4)

▲The FDD discloses: Franchisee's spouse must sign a guarantee making them personally liable for all financial obligations under the Franchise Agreement, placing marital and personal assets at risk.(Special Risks, p.v; Item 15, p.54)
