What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Caption By Hyatt Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific location for a prospective franchisee to indicate the jurisdiction of organization for their entity is not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts. However, Exhibit B, the Franchise Application, is listed as one of the exhibits included in the disclosure document.
While the excerpts do not contain the full Franchise Application, they do include a table with questions related to the intended site of the hotel. This table asks for the address of the intended site, whether the site will be leased or owned, and details about the lessor if applicable. Although it does not directly ask for the jurisdiction of organization, this section of the application suggests that the Franchise Application is the place to provide key details about the franchisee's business.
Therefore, a prospective Caption By Hyatt franchisee should review Exhibit B of the FDD, the Franchise Application, for the specific section where this information is requested. If the application does not explicitly request this information, it would be prudent to ask the franchisor directly where to include the jurisdiction of organization for their entity.
