The introductory section includes general information on franchising, suggestions, and checklists to assist and protect the potential investor, leads to other sourcesof information, and an identification of both governmental and private organizations which can assist minority group entrepreneurs. The sole purpose of the listing is to identifynondiscriminatory franchisors, and the information included in each listing is provided by the franchisor. The Department of Commerce does not represent the list as complete and does not guarantee, or assume responsibility for, transactions resulting from use of the information.
