If disclosures are needed, require a simple,standard,easily understood disclosure such as "average monthly gross income for 'active' Indipendent Business Owners." 5. Indipendent Business Owners should possess substantiation for any cliam but should not be required to disclose it except when required by the FTC and similar state agencies in an agency investigation.
