Talk: Franchising

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Contrary to what might be expected, there is no federal registry of franchising or any federal filing requirements for information. Instead, states primarily collect data on franchising companies and enforce laws and regulations regarding their spread.

I'm not sure I understand why this would be contrary to expectations. --Brion 05:51 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I dont know what the original writer of this article had in mind by "contrary to what might be expected", but I personally would expect the overseeing of franchises to be at the national level rather than the state level. Almost all franchises are national. To oversee them at the state level would entail incredible duplication of effort, inefficiencies, and wastefulness. user:mydogategodshat
