According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit J provides a list of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the state offices or agents that require Belocal to appoint them as agents to receive service of process when selling franchises in their states. The exhibit indicates that if a state is not listed, Belocal has not appointed an agent for service of process in that state due to franchise law requirements. However, the document also notes that there may be states not listed where Belocal has appointed an agent and that some listed states may have additional agents appointed.

As of the FDD publication, Belocal has appointed agents for service of process in California, Hawaii, and Illinois. In California, the agent is the Commissioner of Financial Protection and Innovation, located in Los Angeles. For Hawaii, it is the Commissioner of Securities within the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs in Honolulu. In Illinois, the appointed agent is the Illinois Attorney General in Springfield.

Prospective franchisees should note that the list in Exhibit J may not be exhaustive. It is advisable to confirm with Belocal whether there are additional agents for service of process in specific states, especially those where the franchisee intends to operate. This information is crucial for legal compliance and ensuring proper notification in case of legal proceedings.
