How to Start a Franchise in Maryland
Notably, Maryland is one of the few of states in the United States that has enacted franchise laws. What this means is that before starting your franchise in this franchise registration state, you must register your FDD with the Securities Division of the Maryland Attorney General’s Office. With this, you should prepare yourself for the initial FDD registration filing fee, which is $500, and the subsequent annual renewal fee, which is $250. Also, registration lasts for one year and requires annual renewal.
