We’ve added Franchise Registration / Disclosure Information (가맹사업 정보공개) to KOBDi Business Profiles. As part of this release, 16,752 Korean business profiles were updated. This update helps you verify which franchisor stands behind a brand and review the registered brand-level details available through Korea’s franchise disclosure framework.

A single franchisor may operate multiple brands. Where multiple brands exist, each brand is displayed as a separate line within the Franchise section.

Where to find it

The franchise disclosure/registration information appears in each company’s Business Profile under the Registration area (Franchise). If multiple brands are registered, you will see each brand listed separately.
