AT Franchise Consultants is not an agent, employee, representative, or other
functionary of the seller of the respective business opportunities and franchises
introduced to you.
AT Franchise Consultants is an independent contractor engaged in the activity
of introducing prospective business buyers to sellers of franchises and business
opportunities.
AT Franchise Consultants is paid a commission by the seller if you elect
to purchase a franchise through our service.
AT Franchise Consultants will not advise in any part of the actual purchase
agreement. You are urged to seek professional advice from a lawyer, accountant,
and/or other qualified resource.
AT Franchise Consultants assumes no responsibility for the information
the franchise company/seller provides. AT Franchise Consultants assumes no
responsibility for the acts, errors, or omissions of the seller, or the outcomes
of any transaction.
Buying a business opportunity is an important investment. Take your time
to decide and personally visit the headquarters of the company you elect to
buy from. Make good common sense decisions in all investment matters.
After we recommend opportunities, you alone are responsible for researching
the seller and your decision to buy a franchise is solely your decision.
The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) regulates the sale of franchises
and business opportunities. Contact the nearest office to you for information
to assure yourself that any company you deal with is in full compliance with
the law.
The franchise companies we represent are regulated by FTC Rule 436, passed
in 1979 and providing stringent regulations for the franchise industry. It
sets forth disclosure requirements and strictly prohibits franchisers from
making false or unsubstantiated claims.
Franchise companies are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information
they provide. No other entity is responsible for the acts, errors, or omissions
of the seller, or the outcomes of any transaction.
Your state may also have laws regarding franchises and business opportunities.
Ask your state agencies about them.
The Better Business Bureau is an excellent information source for potential
business buyers. Contact your local bureau as well as the bureau in the city
of origin of the seller.
