	Regulation Overview (Franchise)
		Franchisees often place their life savings, time, and energy into the franchise and, as a result, the loss of a franchise investment may be even more catastrophic than the loss of a securities investment.
		The booming popularity and growth of franchising, the profits which inured to franchisors, and oft-repeated stories of franchisees who "struck it rich" through franchising were accompanied by the abuse of that system by a few fly-by-night, unethical and, often, criminal operators.
		The state franchise laws require that an offering circular proposed for use must not only be prepared according to NASAA Guidelines, but must first be submitted to, scrutinized, and permitted or disallowed by the respective state.

	Franchising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franchising (from the French for free) is a method of doing business wherein a franchisor licenses trademarks and methods of doing business to a franchisee in exchange for a recurring payment.
		As practiced in retailing, franchising offers franchisees the advantage of starting up a new business quickly based on a proven trademark and formula of doing business, as opposed to having to build a new business and brand from scratch (often in the face of aggressive competition from franchise operators).
		Many retail sectors, particularly in the United States, are now dominated by franchising to the point where independently-run operations are the exception rather than the rule.

	Franchising your business (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Franchising allows entrepreneurs to overcome many of these problems by substituting a motivated franchisee for a unit manager.
		At a minimum, you'll need a franchise contract, an offering circular (as required under FTC Rule 436), and, depending on where franchises are being sold, state registrations.
		Moreover, since the franchise sales process is highly regulated, you'll need to be educated in proper sales, disclosure and compliance techniques.

		The Franchising Code of Conduct ensures that franchisees are informed of all relevant facts when starting their business, and that they can access a fast and relatively inexpensive way to resolve any disputes.
		The franchisees guide outlines the information you are entitled to before you enter into a franchise agreement, the rules that apply for transfer and termination of an agreement, and the dispute resolution requirements.
		Given the unique structure of franchising arrangements it is likely that when a dispute occurs there may be an inequality of bargaining power—the very nature of franchising almost always results in smaller business dealing with a larger business whose position affords them a degree of power and control.
