Section 200.116  Franchise Broker

A person shall be deemed to be a franchise broker engaged in the business of representing a franchisor in offering for sale or selling a franchise within the meaning of Section 3(21) of the Act, unless otherwise exempt, if such person provides a prospective franchisee with information  about specific franchises other than the franchisor's name, address and phone number.  The expectation or acceptance of a fee contingent upon a franchise sale shall be considered as evidence of franchise broker status unless such fee results from an isolated transaction as defined in Section 200.202.
