What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial cost for purchasing the required computer system ranges from $15,000 to $25,000. This cost is associated with setting up the necessary technology to operate the Anago Subfranchise.
The computer system is a crucial component of the Anago franchise, as it is required to have internet access, facsimile and electronic mail capabilities, and computer software that meets Anago's standards and specifications. The NBDS (New Business Development System) is a key part of this system, used for recording sales transactions and managing client information. While compatible hardware exists, Anago is currently the only approved supplier for the NBDS software.
Anago subfranchisees are responsible for any upgrades and updates to their computer systems. While Anago may provide specifications for the computer system and custom NBDS formats, franchisees should be prepared for ongoing technology expenses in addition to the initial investment. It is important to note that the NBDS system is not intended to be an accounting or bookkeeping system, so franchisees will need to obtain their own separate accounting system.
