What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago franchisees will have Anago act as their agent to directly invoice clients. Franchisees must forward any client payments they receive directly to Anago. Anago will then withhold money from servicing the accounts for Royalty Fees, Administration Fees, Advertising Contributions, C-Fees, Note Payments, and any other amounts owed to Anago or its affiliates. Anago also withholds out-of-pocket costs, including attorney's fees and court costs, incurred in enforcing payment of accounts on the franchisee's behalf.
After Anago withholds these fees and costs, the remaining balance is mailed to the franchisee. This net payment, representing the monies collected less deductions, is mailed on or before the 20th day, but no later than the 25th day, of each month following the month in which services were rendered. The funds are recorded in the "Due Owner" column of the Owners Report, which serves as the monthly statement for the franchisee.
It is important to note that if amounts billed to the accounts assigned to the franchisee remain unpaid, the franchisee will incur the loss of nonpayment, unless Anago has provided a written guarantee of payments. Anago retains the discretion to initiate action to recover unpaid amounts of its fees, even if the franchisee does not pursue enforcement. Franchisees must remit all client payments to Anago to ensure accurate record-keeping. Failure to forward payments will result in a Handling Fee of $100 per payment to compensate for the additional expense.
