Right Hand Senior Care | What Is a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)?

A franchise disclosure document (FDD) is a legal document that all U.S. franchises are required to provide to potential franchisees.

Zach Tanner’s story of financial independence started with a career-ending injury in his high school football days.
