Uniform Franchise Offering Circular

A Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) is a legal document that franchisors provide to potential franchisees before they decide to buy into a franchise. It gives detailed information about the franchise, including the company’s history, fees, financial performance, and obligations. The UFOC helps prospective franchisees understand what they're investing in and what is expected of them. This transparency is intended to protect consumers and ensure they have enough information to make informed decisions about starting a franchise business.
