Commenting on the results of the report, Jeff Lefler, CEO and Founder of Franchise Grade states: "Although Item 20 doesn't always receive the most scrutiny it deserves when a franchisor fails to correctly report their outlet activity it can reflect poorly on the quality of the franchise offering and pose a legal risk. When errors in an Item 20 are found, it can lead a franchise candidate and their attorney to develop apprehension regarding investing in that franchise opportunity".
