Franchise Disclosure

Crafting disclosure documents and compliance strategies as unique as your brand

Every franchise brand must comply with a complex, ever-evolving, web of federal and state laws to offer franchises. At Cheng Cohen, we go beyond simply drafting Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs): we tailor each compliance strategy to your specific brand, business model, and growth goals.

From new franchisors launching their first concept to mature systems expanding their footprint, our team ensures you stay compliant without losing momentum.
