I will write and review franchise expansion documentation
Licensed U S Attorney Premium Franchise and Corporate Law Expert
About this Gig
In the United States, legally selling a franchise requires strict compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Franchise Rule. As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #94890), I provide meticulous drafting and review of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs) and related expansion documentation.
An incomplete or poorly drafted FDD doesn't just halt your expansion; it exposes you to severe federal penalties and franchisee lawsuits. I bring legal rigor and corporate foresight to your documentation, ensuring transparency, compliance, and protection.
Services provided:
- Drafting of all 23 FTC-mandated FDD Items
- Litigation & Bankruptcy Disclosures
- Initial Investment & Fee Structuring
- Territory and Trademark Documentation
- Financial Performance Representation (Item 19) Structuring
When expanding your brand, trust matters. Partner with a credentialed legal professional to ensure your documentation is pristine and ready for market. Please message me directly before ordering to discuss your business details.

FAQ
Why should I hire a licensed attorney for this?
FDDs are highly regulated federal documents. Mistakes made by non-lawyers can lead to massive fines and the unwinding of your franchise agreements.
Do you handle the financial audit (Item 21)?
I draft the legal framework, but you will need an independent CPA to provide the audited financial statements required for the FDD.
What information will you need from me?
I will send you a comprehensive questionnaire via Fiverr to gather data on your corporate history, fees, executive team, and operations.
Are state registrations included?
This gig covers the federal drafting of the document. State-specific registration filings are a separate process that we can discuss.
What is an FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document is a federally mandated legal document that must be given to potential franchisees before they sign a contract or pay you money.
