If Anago provides additional training, who is responsible for the expenses associated with these programs?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while Anago may provide additional training at its principal training facility, which may be required at Anago's sole option, the subfranchisee is responsible for all expenses associated with these programs. This includes the standard rates Anago charges for the programs, as well as all travel, meals, and lodging costs for the attendees. This applies to additional training as well as the required annual seminar.

This means that if Anago requires or the franchisee requests additional training, the franchisee will need to budget for these costs. These costs can include program fees charged by Anago, plus travel, accommodation, and food for the franchisee and any staff members attending the training. It is important to note that the franchisor has the option to require attendance at additional training programs.

Prospective Anago franchisees should inquire about the typical costs associated with additional training programs and the annual seminar to better understand the potential financial burden. It would also be prudent to ask about the frequency and location of these programs to estimate travel and lodging expenses. Understanding these costs upfront will help in financial planning and ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing training and development.
