What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, New York and Rhode Island mandate that Dryject provide the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) to prospective franchisees at the earlier of either the first personal meeting or 10 business days before the execution of any franchise agreement or payment of any consideration related to the franchise relationship. This requirement ensures that potential franchisees in these states have adequate time to review the FDD and seek professional advice before making any binding commitments or payments.
In contrast, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin have a slightly different requirement. These states require Dryject to provide the FDD at least 10 business days before the execution of any franchise agreement or the payment of any consideration, whichever occurs first. This means that the 'first personal meeting' trigger does not apply in these states; the 10-business-day rule is the sole determining factor for the timing of the FDD disclosure.
It is important for prospective Dryject franchisees to be aware of these state-specific regulations, as failure by Dryject to comply with these disclosure requirements could constitute a violation of federal and state law. Franchisees should consult with a franchise attorney to ensure that they receive the FDD within the legally mandated time frame and to fully understand their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement.
