Water Quality Regulation

Franchises are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. All franchisors operating in the United States must abide by the FTC's Franchise Rule.

If your corporation does anything that affects "the natural environment — air, water and land — upon which life depends," it's subject to EPA laws.

Be sure your business is in compliance with the numerous acts the Environmental Protection Agency has put in place to oversee and regulate the impact businesses have on the environment.
