Franchise Laws in Colorado
Colorado is considered a “non-registration state” for franchise opportunities. This means franchisors are not required to register their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) with any state regulatory body before offering or selling franchises within the state.
That said, make sure you find Colorado Franchise Attorneys to hire (below).
Now, despite the absence of state registration, all franchisors operating in Colorado must fully comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Franchise Rule, which mandates providing a comprehensive and legally compliant FDD to prospective franchisees within a specified timeframe prior to any sale.
Because Colorado lacks its own state franchise disclosure laws, the FTC Franchise Rule serves as the primary regulatory framework for pre-sale disclosures.
This federal rule ensures prospective franchisees receive essential information about the franchise opportunity, including details about the franchisor, financial performance, and obligations, to make an informed investment decision.
That said, Colorado does not impose state-specific fees or registration expiration dates for general franchise offerings, as its laws do not extend beyond federal regulations in this area.
Furthermore, Colorado does not have specific state-level franchise relationship laws that govern the ongoing interactions between franchisors and franchisees.
That means that unlike some states with detailed relationship acts, Colorado has no state statutes dictating “good cause” for termination, notice periods for non-renewal, or specific protections for franchise transfers.
Therefore, the contractual agreement between the franchisor and franchisee, alongside overarching federal regulations, largely defines the terms and conditions of their relationship.
