What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Anago Unit franchisee agrees to have Anago, acting as their agent, directly invoice clients and to forward to Anago any payments received directly from clients. The franchisee authorizes Anago to withhold from the payments due to the franchisee amounts for Royalty Fees, Administration Fees, Advertising Contributions, C-Fees, Note Payments, and all other amounts owed to Anago or its affiliates. This also includes out-of-pocket costs, such as attorneys' fees and court costs, incurred by Anago in enforcing payment of accounts on the franchisee's behalf.
Anago will then mail the remaining monies collected, as recorded in the "Due Owner" column of the Owners Report (monthly statement), to the franchisee on or before the 20th day, but no later than the 25th day, of each month following the month in which services were rendered. However, if amounts billed to the accounts assigned to the franchisee are unpaid, the franchisee will incur the loss of nonpayment, unless Anago has guaranteed payments in writing. Anago can also initiate action to recover unpaid amounts of their fees, even if the franchisee has not paid as agreed.
It is essential for Anago's record keeping that all amounts due from the client are remitted to them. If a franchisee fails to forward any payments received, they will incur a Handling Fee of $100 per payment. This fee is intended to compensate Anago for the additional expense caused by the failure to remit funds.
