Franchise Disclosure Documents Editing and Proofreading Services

A franchise disclosure document is unusual: getting it wrong can undo the whole deal. In many jurisdictions, a document that is materially deficient — missing a required disclosure, omitting a financial statement, or delivered late — can give the franchisee a right to rescind for up to two years and recover their investment. Completeness and accuracy are not best practice here; they are the entire point of the document.

We edit franchise disclosure documents and their schedules, franchise agreements, area development and master franchise agreements, operations manuals, renewal and transfer documentation, disclosure updates and material change statements, and franchisee-facing communications. Our editors check that every statement in the FDD matches the franchise agreement it describes, that fees named in the narrative appear identically in the fee schedule, that lists of current and former franchisees are internally consistent, and that risk warnings and required statements appear in the prescribed form and place.

Operations manuals matter more than they are usually given credit for. They are incorporated by reference into the agreement, which means an ambiguous instruction becomes a contractual obligation nobody drafted deliberately.

Everything is confidential, including pre-registration drafts. We do not certify compliance — we make certain the document is internally consistent and that a prospective franchisee can genuinely understand what they are buying.
