For Management Recruiters, which states require the Franchise Disclosure Document to be registered or filed, or be exempt from registration?

According to Management Recruiters' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, certain states have franchise laws necessitating the registration or filing of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), or an exemption from registration. These states are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

For a prospective Management Recruiters franchisee, this means that the FDD has undergone scrutiny and met the requirements of these specific states. The document is considered effective and usable in these states as of the effective date stated in the FDD. This provides a level of assurance that Management Recruiters has complied with the franchise regulations in these states.

It is important to note that other states may also have requirements for franchise registration, filing, or exemption under other laws, such as those regulating business opportunities or seller-assisted marketing plans. Therefore, prospective franchisees should verify the specific requirements in their state of interest, even if it is not listed among the states that require FDD registration or filing. This information is crucial for ensuring full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations before investing in a Management Recruiters franchise.
