2008 FDD Rule Change

Are you FTC-compliant? Effective July 1, 2008, a revised Federal Trade Commission rule governs franchise disclosure documents. That's why the document known as the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, or UFOC, is now known as the Franchise Disclosure Document, or FDD.

The new FTC rule does more than change the name of the document—it imposes new requirements for its contents, too. Franchises whose FDDs are not fully compliant with the July 1, 2008, rule change risk FTC penalties, lawsuits, and more. Two ways to ensure compliance
Whether you're starting a new franchise or updating your existing disclosure document, we offer two easy, cost-effective ways to make sure you meet the letter of the law in compliance with the FTC deadline:
  • Use our completely compliant do-it-yourself FDD template. Learn more and see sample pages here.
  • Let us draft your new FDD for you. Just call one of our helpful consultants at 800-305-6276, or contact us online here.
