Who Needs This Bond?
Franchise companies headquartered outside North Dakota but selling franchises within the state, in-state franchisors offering new franchise agreements, and businesses expanding an existing franchise system into North Dakota all need this bond. If you are registering a franchise offering with the state or renewing that registration, this bond is part of the package. It applies to any franchisor subject to North Dakota's franchise investment law requirements.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a franchisor will operate in compliance with North Dakota's franchise laws and fulfill its financial obligations to franchisees. If a franchisor misrepresents its offering, fails to deliver promised support, or violates state franchise regulations, a harmed franchisee can make a claim against this bond. It is a financial safety net for the people investing in a franchise opportunity in North Dakota.
When is it Required?
Registration with the state is the trigger — this bond must be in place when a franchisor submits or renews its franchise registration application in North Dakota. The state will not approve a franchise offering without proof of this bond on file. If you have received notice that your registration requires a bond, you need to secure it before the approval process can move forward.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide requirement and applies to franchise offerings made anywhere within North Dakota. It is not a local or county requirement — it governs the entire state. Any franchisor offering, selling, or renewing a franchise agreement in North Dakota falls under this obligation.
