Is the All States M.E.D. Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire used for franchise sales to residents of Maryland?

According to All States M.E.D.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire is not to be used for franchise sales in or to residents of Maryland. This means that All States M.E.D. franchisees in Maryland will not be required to complete this questionnaire as part of the franchise sales process.

This exclusion may be due to specific legal requirements or regulations in Maryland regarding franchise sales and disclosures. The questionnaire is designed to determine if any unauthorized or untrue statements were made during the sales process and to ensure the franchisee understands the limitations on claims related to their franchise. However, Maryland may have its own specific forms or procedures to address these issues.

Prospective All States M.E.D. franchisees in Maryland should be aware that while they are not required to complete the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire, they are still entitled to the protections and disclosures required by Maryland franchise law. They should carefully review all documents provided by All States M.E.D. and seek legal advice to ensure they fully understand their rights and obligations.
