What happens if an Anago franchisee selects to pay the entire Initial Fee in cash?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who choose to pay the Initial Fee in full with cash may receive a discount. Specifically, if the C-Fee, which appears to be related to the Initial Fee, is paid in full at the time of assumption, Anago will reduce the C-Fee by 15%.

This discount can significantly lower the initial investment required to start an Anago franchise. For example, if a franchise program has a $20,000 initial fee, paying in cash at the time of assumption would reduce the fee by $3,000 (15% of $20,000). This could make the franchise more accessible to individuals with limited capital or allow franchisees to allocate those funds to other essential business needs.

It is important to note that this discount applies only if the C-Fee is paid in full at the time of assumption. Franchisees should confirm with Anago what constitutes "the time of assumption" and whether there are any other conditions or requirements to qualify for this discount. Understanding these details is crucial for making an informed financial decision when investing in an Anago franchise.
