Is the franchise I'm interested in registered to sell in New York?
New York is a registration state. Verify the franchisor's registration with the New York Department of Law (Investor Protection Bureau) before signing anything. An offer to sell a franchise in New York without registration is itself a violation of state law and a major red flag.
