Good to know
- Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000: the franchisor must give one complete disclosure document, with financial statements, at least 14 days before you sign anything or pay any money. If it is late or incomplete, you can cancel within 60 days of getting it; if you never got it, within 2 years.
- Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have similar franchise disclosure laws.
- Talk to at least 5 current and 2 former franchisees (their names are in the disclosure document) before signing.
