Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC)

The Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) is a document that provides essential information for potential franchisees looking to invest in a franchise. It outlines details about the franchise, including its history, financial performance, fees, and obligations of both the franchisor and franchisee. The UFOC is designed to help prospective franchise owners make informed decisions by ensuring transparency about the business opportunity. It is typically required by law in many jurisdictions and serves as a key resource for understanding the terms and conditions associated with purchasing a franchise.
