Washington Franchise Registration Application is a process required for any business that is franchising in the state of Washington. It is a comprehensive application that must be completed and submitted to the Washington Department of Revenue for approval. The application covers a number of areas including financial disclosure, business structure, disclosure of franchise fees and costs, and compliance with state and federal laws. There are two types of Washington Franchise Registration Applications: the Initial Franchise Registration Application and the Annual Renewal Application. The Initial Franchise Registration Application must be completed and submitted when a business first applies to become a franchise, and the Annual Renewal Application must be completed and submitted every year thereafter in order to maintain the franchise’s registration in the state of Washington.
