Wisconsin Franchising Grows Cautiously Under New Law
Wisconsin franchising expands despite a strong investor protection law enacted in 1972. The Wisconsin Securities Department reports over 100000 dollars in cash restitution and contract cancellations in its first year, while noting exemptions for major franchise chains.

Studies on broader registration controls have begun, with Minnesota already extending similar coverage.
