The Discovery Process

The Discovery Process

At Always Best Care, we believe in providing you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about our business franchise opportunities. Our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) has comprehensive information regarding all matters of importance to prospective franchisees. The purpose of the FDD is to protect the public by providing information about the franchise company. Your Franchise Disclosure Document and franchise agreement are the indispensable “twin tablets” of franchising — essential legal documents that spell out the relationship between the franchisor and franchisees. Required by law, the Franchise Disclosure Document, (formerly known as the UFOC, or Uniform Franchise Offering Circular), informs prospective franchisees of their rights and obligations before they sign the franchise agreement. Your Franchise Development Specialist will gladly provide you with the Always Best Care Franchise Disclosure Document for your specific state. There are 23 categories of information that are provided by Always Best Care to prospective franchisees; these categories include:

1. The franchisor, its predecessors and affiliates
2. Business experience
3. Litigation
4. Bankruptcy
5. Initial franchise fee
6. Other fees
7. Initial investment
8. Restrictions on sources of products
9. Franchisee’s obligations
10. Financing
11. Franchisor’s obligations
12. Territory
13. Trademarks
14. Patents, copyrights, and proprietary information
