MFIL provides a private right of action for disclosure violations — distinct from FTC Rule (no private right). Detroit-area auto economy creates concentrated B2B and industrial-services franchise demand.
Michigan 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.
