What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Ledgers Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit D lists the state agencies authorized to receive service of process for Ledgers in each particular state. This is a crucial piece of information for franchisees because it specifies the entities that are officially designated to accept legal notices on behalf of Ledgers within those states.
In practical terms, if a franchisee needs to serve a legal document to Ledgers, such as a notice of a lawsuit or other legal action, the franchisee can serve the designated agent for service of process listed for that state. This ensures that Ledgers receives proper legal notification.
The FDD excerpt includes a table that lists the 'State Administrator' and 'Agent for Service of Process' for several states including California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. For example, in Illinois, the Agent for Service of Process is the Illinois Attorney General, Franchise Division, located in Springfield. This information is essential for ensuring legal compliance and proper communication in any legal proceedings involving Ledgers.
