What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any contributions to the Advertising Fund that are not spent during the fiscal year in which they were collected are typically carried forward to the next year. These carried-over funds are then used for advertising and related expenses.
This policy ensures that advertising funds are not lost if they are not immediately spent. Instead, they are reinvested in the Anago system to support ongoing marketing and promotional efforts. This can benefit franchisees by providing a consistent stream of advertising resources.
Anago also retains the right to terminate the Fund at any time, but only after all contributions have been fully expended. This protects franchisees by ensuring that all collected advertising fees are used for their intended purpose before the fund is dissolved.
