What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard timeframe for providing the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) is 14 calendar days before signing a binding agreement or making a payment. However, New York franchise laws provide an alternative timeframe.
For Cinnaholic franchises in New York, the FDD must be provided at the first personal meeting held to discuss the franchise sale. Alternatively, the FDD must be provided at least 10 business days before signing a binding agreement or making a payment to Cinnaholic or its affiliates.
This means that Cinnaholic franchisees in New York have the benefit of receiving the FDD either at the initial discussion or 10 business days before committing to the franchise, offering more flexibility compared to the standard 14 calendar day rule. This ensures prospective franchisees in New York have ample time to review the document and seek professional advice before making any financial commitments.
