Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's initial business plan for a restaurant franchise was vague, lacked critical details, and was unsupported by objective evidence. In response to a Request for Evidence, the petitioner impermissibly attempted to make a material change to the proposed endeavor from a restaurant to a business consulting firm, which is not allowed to make a deficient petition conform to requirements after the time of filing.
