What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the last two pages of the disclosure document packet are duplicate receipt pages. These pages serve as acknowledgement that the prospective franchisee received a copy of the disclosure document. The franchisee must sign both receipt pages, return one to Budget, and retain the other for their records.
If the receipt pages, or any other pages and attachments, are missing from the disclosure document, the FDD instructs the prospective franchisee to contact Budget immediately. This is important because the receipt serves as proof that Budget provided the disclosure document, which is a legal requirement.
By contacting Budget immediately about any missing pages, a potential franchisee ensures they receive a complete disclosure document and fulfills their obligation to acknowledge its receipt. This proactive step can help protect their rights and ensure compliance with franchise regulations.
