What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after a Subfranchisor receives a client payment and deposits it into the designated Anago Escrow Account, Anago will distribute client receipts to the Subfranchisor once per week, specifically on Wednesdays. This distribution includes client receipts deposited into the Anago Escrow Account during the prior week, with the week running from Sunday through Saturday.

However, the amount distributed is not the full deposit. Anago deducts funds owed to it or its affiliates for various fees before distributing the client receipts to the Subfranchisor. These deductions include royalties, administrative support fees, insurance fees, accounting fees, service fees (such as bank fees and credit card fees), advertising fees, late fees, temporary management fees, and interest, as well as any other payments due to Anago or its affiliates under the agreement.

Additionally, Anago will hold back a portion of the funds in the Anago Escrow Account to cover amounts the Subfranchisor owes to it under the agreement. This holdback ensures that Anago can cover any outstanding debts or obligations the Subfranchisor has to the company, providing a financial safeguard for Anago. The Subfranchisor is responsible for the payment of sales tax, which will be paid from the Subfranchisor's operating account.
