    Franchising 101 - Going Dark – Understanding the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) Process - Episode 240
    Apr 24 2025
    🎙️ Episode 240 - In this episode, Tim Parmeter breaks down one of the most misunderstood—but essential—documents in the franchising world: the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). He also demystifies the term “going dark,” which tends to sound ominous but is a routine part of the franchising process each year.If you’ve ever been confused (or intimidated) by the FDD or heard the phrase "going dark" and weren’t sure what it meant, this is the episode for you.📺 Check out FranCoach's TV show, the Franchising 360 Show, Fridays 8pm EST/5pm PST on the Biz TV Network www.biztv.com 💡 Key TakeawaysWhat Is the FDD? A 200+ page legal document required by the FTC and reviewed by each individual state. It outlines important details about a franchise but won’t tell you which brand is right for you.What Does “Going Dark” Mean? This occurs when a franchise has submitted an updated FDD for state approval, but it hasn’t yet been accepted. During this time, the franchise legally can’t move forward with prospective franchisees. It’s normal, temporary, and not a red flag.Why It Matters: The FDD is meant to protect you, providing the most current info available. State reviews (especially in the 12 "registration states") can delay approval, but it’s part of a consumer-protection process—not a sign something is wrong.14-Day Rule Reminder: Once you receive a valid FDD, you must wait at least 14 days before signing a franchise agreement—giving you time to properly review everything.🔗 Resources & Next StepsFranCoach Website: FranCoach.netFree Consultation: FranCoach’s services are always free to those exploring franchise ownership.

Tim encourages prospective franchisees to view it as a sign of compliance and transparency, not a reason for concern.🎧 Thanks for listening!
