In Minnesota, what does the Minnesota Franchise Act require Deer Solution to provide to a prospective franchisee before executing any binding agreement?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Minnesota Franchise Act mandates that Deer Solution provide a prospective franchisee with specific documents before any binding agreement is executed. At least seven days before the prospective franchisee signs any binding franchise or other agreement, or at least seven days before the payment of any consideration, Deer Solution must provide a copy of the Public Offering Statement, along with copies of all proposed agreements relating to the franchise.

This Public Offering Statement contains a summary of certain material provisions of the franchise agreement. The FDD emphasizes that the contract or agreement itself should be reviewed for a complete understanding of all rights and obligations of both Deer Solution and the franchisee.

This requirement ensures that potential Deer Solution franchisees have adequate time to review the franchise terms, seek legal counsel, and make informed decisions before committing to the franchise. Failing to provide these documents within the stipulated timeframe would be a violation of the Minnesota Franchise Act.
