Honest answers

Questions Canadian franchise buyers actually ask.

From the 30 most common questions we field every quarter — with answers grounded in provincial franchise law and Canadian Franchise Association guidance.

What does a Canadian franchise FDD include?
A Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) covers 23 prescribed items under Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act — including Item 7 (start-up costs), Item 19 (renewal/termination), and Item 21 (financial statements). Quebec uses the Civil Code instead.
How long is the cooling-off period?
14 days from signing the franchise agreement (Arthur Wishart Act s. 5). You also have a 60-day rescission window if the FDD was materially deficient (s. 6). Don't re-sign a corrected FDD without legal review.
Can earnings be guaranteed?
No. Per Competition Act s.74.01, earnings representations are treated as "false or misleading in a material respect" if unsubstantiated. Read Item 19 disclosures carefully.
