Analysis

Sticker language that "additional fees may apply" without identifying which payments are initial fees, their amounts, and refundability leaves franchisees without the specific initial-fee disclosure Item 5 requires before opening.

The review is the starting point,
not the finish line.

01

Advise the client

Walk the client through their compliance posture using the structured findings. The severity grading prioritizes the conversation: address critical issues before the next registration filing, flag items that need attention before the annual update, and confirm the areas where their disclosures already meet the mark.

02

Prepare the filing

Use the structured findings to decide what needs to change before the next registration or annual update. The report is the working record; your judgment decides what the client files.

03

Track over time

FDD compliance is an annual cycle. Every review your firm runs is preserved. When the same client returns for their annual update, you can compare this year’s findings against last year’s and see exactly what was addressed and what is new.

Common questions

How long does a review take?

Most FDDs are analyzed in minutes. Total time depends on document length, but the typical turnaround is measured in minutes, not hours.

Does Dale replace attorney review?

No. Dale performs the thorough first-pass analysis that surfaces findings. Professional judgment (what is material, how to advise the client, what to file) remains with the attorney.

How current is the compliance rulebook?

The rulebook is continuously maintained to reflect the latest regulatory changes. When the regulatory landscape shifts, the rulebook is updated before your next review.

Can findings be traced back to a specific rule?

Yes. Every finding cites the regulation it implicates, includes a quoted excerpt of the relevant passage, and links to the source page in the document. There is no finding without a citation.
