Do I need to verify state registration before buying a automotive franchise in Arkansas?

Arkansas does not require state-level franchise registration, so no separate state-level verification is needed. The federal FTC Rule still requires the franchisor to provide the FDD at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything.
