Seller-assisted marketing plans, also known as business opportunities or franchises, are required to comply with the Seller-Assisted Marketing Plan Act (SAMP Act). The SAMP Act provides requirements for disclosures to purchasers, contents of the marketing plan contract, filings, and fees. The Bureau of Securities regulates business opportunities and franchises and ensures that such businesses operate within the requirements set forth in the SAMP Act.
Certain transactions may be exempt from some requirements of the SAMP Act. For more information on what should be filed or if a business qualifies for an exemption, please contact the Bureau of Securities at DOB.SecuritiesFiling@nebraska.gov.
