Which states require the use of the Receipt for the Aerus Disclosure Document?

Based on the 2025 Aerus Franchise Disclosure Document, after receiving the FDD, prospective franchisees must sign and date the receipt page and return it to Aerus Franchising, LLC at their Texas address. This signed receipt confirms that the prospective franchisee received the FDD. The document does not specify which states require the use of the receipt.

However, the Aerus FDD does mention certain states that have specific franchise laws requiring registration or filing of the Franchise Disclosure Document, or exemption from registration. These states are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Additionally, Iowa and New York have specific requirements regarding the timing of the FDD delivery. Aerus must provide the disclosure document at the earlier of the first personal meeting or 10 business days (or 14 calendar days in Iowa) before the execution of the franchise or other agreement or the payment of any consideration that relates to the franchise relationship. Michigan requires that Aerus give the disclosure document at least 10 business days before the execution of any binding franchise or other agreement or the payment of any consideration, whichever occurs first.

Because the document does not specify which states require the use of the receipt, prospective franchisees should confirm with Aerus or legal counsel whether the receipt is mandatory in their specific state.
