Based on the 2025 Nothing Bundt Cakes Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 23 includes a Franchisee Disclosure Acknowledgment Statement. However, this statement does not apply to franchisees in Hawaii, along with several other states including California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

This implies that specific disclosures and acknowledgments required in these states are handled differently, likely adhering to state-specific franchise laws. For a prospective franchisee in Hawaii, this means that the standard acknowledgment form mentioned in Item 23 is not relevant to their franchise agreement.

Therefore, the FDD does not specify which particular division in Hawaii handles business registration. A potential franchisee should directly ask the franchisor about the specific requirements and procedures for business registration and franchise disclosure in Hawaii to ensure full compliance with local regulations.
