What is the difference between a “Business Opportunity” and a “Franchise Opportunity”?
A “Franchise Opportunity” has governing guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission. Those guidelines protect the public by requiring full disclosure of company financials, list of all franchisees both current and past, and any history of litigation against the company and its officers. A “Business Opportunity” has none of these requirements and as a result, may carry more risks for a potential investor.
