For sales covered by the FTC Franchise Rule, the franchisor must provide its current disclosure document at least 14 calendar days before the prospective franchisee signs a binding agreement with, or pays, the franchisor or an affiliate in connection with the proposed sale.

If the franchisor unilaterally and materially changes an attached agreement, the Rule requires the revised agreement at least seven calendar days before signing. Changes arising from negotiations initiated by the prospective franchisee do not trigger that seven day period.

Chapter 817, Florida Statutes, prohibits specified intentional misrepresentations when selling or establishing franchises or distributorships covered by that provision.
