These registration states have examiners review a franchise company's FDD to confirm it satisfies state regulatory conditions. In addition to registration states, some other states have enforced franchise or business opportunity laws that mandate franchisors to file their franchise within the state. In most instances the filing is simply a notice with the state. Unlike franchise registration states, the franchise filing states do not examine the FDD.
