What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago can change the minimum client bid schedule requirements. The minimum client bid schedule depends on the population of the franchisee's area and will be detailed in Anago's manuals. The number of client bids required increases over the first two years of operation and then remains constant in subsequent years. For example, if the population of the area is 1,000,000 or fewer people, the franchisee must schedule at least 15 client bids per month during the first year, 20 client bids during the second year, and 25 client bids each subsequent year.
For areas with populations between 1,000,001 and 3,000,000, the minimums are 20 bids in the first year, 30 in the second, and 40 thereafter. In areas with populations of 3,000,001 or more, the franchisee must schedule 30 bids in the first year, 45 in the second, and 60 in each subsequent year.
Anago retains the discretion to change these requirements. If a franchisee fails to meet the minimum client bid schedule, they may be assessed a Client Bid Schedule Deficiency Fee of $150 for each bid below the required minimum. This fee is assessed in January of each year, based on the prior 12-month averages, or at Anago's option, in January and July, based on the prior 6-month averages.
