An estimated 17.5 million Americans suffer from some form of depression, with 9.2 million having major clinical depression. While most treatment options are effective, only one-third of depressed individuals seek treatment. Depression costs the US economy $30.4 billion annually and has significant human costs as well, with women experiencing depression at about twice the rate of men. By 2020, the WHO predicts depression will be the second leading cause of disability worldwide.

The results indicated franchising sentiment was strengthening in key areas but challenges around resources remained.

Franchising involves semi-independent franchisees paying fees and royalties to a franchiser in exchange for using the franchiser's trademark, selling its products or services, and often using its business format and system. There are three main types of franchising: trade name franchising which allows use of the franchiser's name without exclusive product distribution; product distribution franchising which licenses franchisees to sell franchiser products under its brand name; and pure franchising which sells a complete business format and system. Some advantages of buying a franchise include management training and support, brand name appeal, and national advertising programs, while drawbacks include franchise fees and royalties, market saturation, and less business freedom.

Governor Schwarzenegger signed a new Car Buyers' Bill of Rights law in California that takes effect in 2006. The law caps dealer markups on auto loans at 2.5 percentage points for loans under 60 months and 2.0 points for longer loans. It also requires more disclosure around add-on products and making credit scores available. The law allows buyers to return used cars under $40,000 within two days for any reason, for a fee up to $250. The auto dealers association says it will have to see how effective the return provision is but does not think pricing caps are the right approach.
