What is the issuance date of the Engel & Volkers disclosure document?

According to Engel & Volkers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the issuance date of the document is March 31, 2025. This date is important because it signifies when the disclosure document was finalized and approved for distribution to potential franchisees.

Engel & Volkers must provide this disclosure document to prospective franchisees at least 14 calendar days before they sign a binding agreement or make any payments to Engel & Volkers or its affiliates related to the franchise sale. This 14-day period allows potential franchisees to thoroughly review the document and seek professional advice before committing to the franchise. Some states, like New York and Michigan, have their own specific requirements regarding the timing of disclosure, which may require earlier delivery of the document.

The FDD also states that if Engel & Volkers fails to deliver the disclosure document on time, or if the document contains false or misleading statements, or material omissions, it could be a violation of federal and state law. In such cases, it should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission and the appropriate state agency.
