Does the Questionnaire in the Focalpoint Coaching FDD apply to residents of Hawaii?

According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire does not apply to residents of Hawaii. The FDD explicitly states that if a potential franchisee is a resident of Hawaii, or if the franchise they intend to operate is located in Hawaii, they are not required to complete the questionnaire.

This exclusion is due to the Hawaii Franchise Investment Act, which governs franchise transactions within the state. The questionnaire is designed to ensure that franchisees are aware of the terms of the franchise agreement and that no unauthorized promises or statements have been made to them. However, because Hawaii has its own franchise laws, Focalpoint Coaching tailors its compliance procedures accordingly.

For prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisees in Hawaii, this means they will not be asked to complete the standard Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire. Instead, Focalpoint Coaching will likely have alternative procedures or documentation to comply with the Hawaii Franchise Investment Act. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to ensure they fully understand their rights and obligations under Hawaii law.
