Michigan is a constituent state of the United States of America, which attracts businesses because of the abundant and diverse workforce, low cost of living, business-friendly environment, and global supply chain assets. In addition, the state has available business resources, a bonus for businesses looking for a suitable place to establish their operations. If you are looking for a skilled, talented workforce for your franchise, then Michigan has got you covered. Regardless of the industry, Michigan has a highly skilled and growing workforce that meets the talent needs of different companies relocating there.<\/p>\n
Michigan is among the franchise registration states, but it defers from other registration states because it doesn\u2019t require you to register your Franchise Disclosure Documents with the state or submit a copy for review. This makes the state a \u201cnotice only\u201d state, which means you must file an annual Notice of Intent with the Michigan Attorney General<\/a>.<\/p>\n For the Notice of Intent to be in effect, you are required to type it on the letterhead of your franchise company and include the name of your franchise company. Franchisors are also expected to have the principal address of your franchise company and describe the franchised business in brief. The Notice of Intent is submitted with a $250 check, which is payable to the state. Although you are not required to register your Franchise Disclosure Document, you must file and renew the Notice of Intent every year. It is only in effect once you receive confirmation of your filing through the Attorney General\u2019s Insurance of a notice supporting your filing. The notice from the Attorney General will have the word filed and will be marked with an effective date.<\/p>\n
