What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Anago Subfranchisee is limited to selling Anago Unit Franchises within the exclusive area designated in their Subfranchise Rights Agreement. This means the subfranchisee's ability to sell franchises and support unit franchisees is geographically restricted to the specific territory outlined in their agreement. Anago also states that the subfranchisee is not permitted to solicit Unit Franchisees or clients outside their designated area. This restriction applies to all channels of distribution, including the internet, catalogs, telemarketing, and other direct marketing methods.
Anago retains specific rights regarding business operations. Anago reserves the right to operate or grant others the right to operate retail businesses that offer janitorial services and products to clients outside the subfranchisee's area. Anago can also bid on and enter into contracts with National Accounts, irrespective of the subfranchisee's territory.
For a prospective Anago subfranchisee, it is crucial to understand the exact boundaries of the exclusive area granted in the Subfranchise Rights Agreement. This defined territory is the geographic limit within which the subfranchisee can operate their Anago Subfranchise Business. It is also important to understand the restrictions on soliciting clients and Unit Franchisees outside of the designated area, as well as Anago's rights to operate and grant franchises outside of the subfranchisee's territory.
