FRANCHISING IN OHIO
Registration or Filing Required?
No
Business Opportunity Laws?
Yes
Ohio is not a franchise registration state nor a franchise filing state. You may offer or sell your franchise without registering or filing your FDD with the state, provided that you are compliant with the Federal Franchise Rule. While Ohio does have Business Opportunity Laws, they are not franchise specific and only will apply in certain factual scenarios that your franchise counsel can guide you on.
