❓ FAQ

🔍 How does it work? Enter a franchise name or enable full database collection. The actor retrieves the official registration records from the NASAA EFD portal, including state filings, legal contacts, and any publicly available documents.

📊 How accurate is the data? Data comes directly from the NASAA EFD portal, which is maintained by state securities regulators. Records reflect official franchise registrations and are as accurate as the filings submitted by franchisors.

📅 Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. Use integrations like Make or Zapier to run the actor on a schedule and send updated franchise records to your data warehouse or email.

⚖️ Is it legal to collect this data? The NASAA EFD portal is a public government database. The data it contains is public record. However, you are responsible for complying with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Always verify the permitted use of government data before collecting it.
