What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a subfranchisor must pay the website maintenance fee by the 10th of each month. This fee is applicable if Anago, at its discretion and with written notice, takes over the responsibility of maintaining the subfranchisor's webpage. The fee covers ongoing maintenance and services related to the subfranchisor's webpage on Anago's website. Currently, this fee is set at $1,500 per month.
The services covered by the website maintenance fee may include reimbursing Anago for payments made to outside vendors for services like search engine optimization, design, maintenance, and chat support. Anago retains the right to modify the amount of the website maintenance fee periodically.
For a prospective Anago subfranchisor, this means that if Anago decides to manage the subfranchisor's webpage, the subfranchisor will incur a recurring monthly expense of $1,500, due by the 10th of each month. It is important to note that this fee can change, and the subfranchisor will be notified in writing of any such changes. This arrangement provides the subfranchisor with website support, but it also adds a fixed monthly cost to their operational expenses.
