Other Added - Electronic Franchise Disclosure and E-Signature Future for Investors
When I watched John Stossell’s show on the comparison between Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan sneaker line and Stephon Marbury’s Starbury line, I quickly realized that greed in America is becoming more and more the rule rather than the exception. To wit, the shoe experts cut open the two brands of sneakers and found that there were no essential differences—only price. That Marbury can sell his shoes for $15 while Jordan sells his for up to $175-200 per pair o

All small businesses need equipment and your cleaning business is no exception. But you don't necessarily have to buy the equipment to run your cleaning business successfully. Depending on your circumstances, leasing may be a better choice than buying every piece of equipment you need for your cleaning business.What is a lease? A lease is an agreement in which you have the use of a piece of equipment, but you do not own it. The user (the lessee)
This is because the documents have gotten so large they amount to what would be considered an email bomb. The franchisors will have to document who emailed them and asked for information. Yet one cannot document incoming emails, because people use free-mail accounts and disguise their identity, even the Federal Trade Commission does this when phising for information about franchisor targets they wish to entrap, usually based on a letter from an attorney or a fake complaint coming from a competitor disguised as a consumer coming into the FTC’s website.
The FTC is likely to look at electronic distribution through websites rather than emailing the disclosure documents. And then who is paying to keep it updated and which one do you put up if there are 12 registration states, multiple Canadian Provinces, notification states and the Federal Trade Commission version, all different. And web people last time I checked still do not work for free yet. So where as it might be theoretically cost effective and save trees (less paperwork) it will cost more in enhanced IT expenditures and web-services. Right now we see the US Government and the US military with their own needs and many of those who would work for franchisors in this regard are working elsewhere thus the supply and demand of such technological folks is dried up and the cost is through the roof. You are making a rules that will hurt the consumer and trees. All this cannot be considered “Cost-Effective,” even though a recent franchise rule making report declared the over disclosure in modern franchising to be cost effective.
Most workers at the Federal Trade Commission, I have heard rumors at the Starbucks across the street, are quite liberal and even consider themselves in the Tree Huggers camp. Either you are for America, trees, consumers and free enterprise or you are for continuing this crazy tact in enacting more inane rules. Whose team is the Federal Trade Commission Franchising Division on anyway, well we know that it is safe to assume they are on the lawyers side, after all many are lawyers, aspire to be lawyers or cannot wait for the day they can get out and MoveOn into a cushy job with a private law firm.

It is often said that business cards are the most important marketing tool. Because of this fact, it is essential to invest in high quality, colorful and laminated business cards. Everyone you meet is a potential customer and you you’re your business card to serve as a miniature billboard that advertise your products or services.Some great ideas to stand out from the crowd would be to select an unusual color, typeface, or message. Make certain tha

A landscape business is one business that you may want to be concerned with. In the spring, summer, and fall, you will have plenty of business, however, the winter gets very slow. You will need to plan what you can do to make sure that the business can grow and yet make it through the winter season. Some landscape businesses don’t have to worry about the winter because they aren’t really hit with a hard winter. That is something that you should think about,

Shrink wrap systems are commonly used by various industries to protect their products from moisture, dirt, and damage during storage or transport. Shrink wrap is also a quick and simple way to keep items neatly organized. Plastic film, made of PVC, Polyolefin or polyethylene wraps around the objects.When the film is heated, it shrinks, conforming to the shape of the object and sealing it from outside elements. Shrink wrap systems may be handheld, or

The process of becoming a professional humorous motivational speaker really never occurred to me. I was going along with my life paying attention to the normal stuff, family, work, and friends. And then it was suggested that I attend the Players Workshop of The Second City, one of the oldest and most prestigious improvisational comedy schools in the world, located right in my own backyard, Chicago. This is where I decided to embark on a professional humorou
Rules simply to make rules, with no real goal in mind and no end to the upcoming rules this will add in the future, provides no end game or solution. Perhaps the Federal Trade Commission wishes to fund the rule by paying every franchisor $37K or their estimated cost to print these documents for the next year or perhaps the Federal Trade Commission could contact the IRS for a tax credit on all money spent in UFOC printing as long as it was through a bonifide franchised print shop? Perhaps the Federal Trade Commission might start a “Shred It” franchise so they can recycle all the unused UFOCs, which will now have to be thrown out if this rule is enacted? Maybe they can make a paper me shay tree in the lunch room to worship as their new pagan god or make it into Christmas Tree and place under it new rules and regulations thus providing the gift of perpetual job security?
The Federal Trade Commission ought to lead by example and not send mixed messages to industry or force over regulation and minutia piling in disclosure laws. Think about it.
