Provides a guide to the clear language which should be used by franchisors to disclose material facts (and what to avoid!), discusses the important issues of market protection, the franchisee/franchisor relationship, earnings, claims, etc.; and outlines other information which should be disclosed. Gives a useful checklist to help both parties to a franchise deal ensure they have enough information for assessment and disclosure compliance.
