What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago assesses Billing and Collection Fees after an initial 12-month waiver period. These fees are charged monthly on the 20th day of each month. The fee is calculated as the greater of $1,000 or 1% of the Subfranchisor's Gross Revenues, plus $25 for each unit franchise statement.
During the first 12 months of operation, Anago waives these fees, providing a financial benefit to new Subfranchisors. However, after this initial period, the fees become applicable. Additionally, if an event of default occurs, the waiver is immediately rescinded, and the Subfranchisor becomes responsible for the fees regardless of whether the initial 12-month period has elapsed.
This fee covers Anago's services as the billing and collections agent for the Unit Franchise, a role the Subfranchisor initially holds. After the waiver period or an event of default, the Subfranchisor delegates this responsibility back to Anago. The FDD specifies that Anago provides this service at no charge during the initial 12-month period, except for the cost of postage, implying that postage costs may be incurred by the Subfranchisor even during the waiver period.
