What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, miscellaneous start-up costs, which range from $10,000 to $20,000, must be paid before beginning business. These costs are paid to third parties and are incurred as needed.
These miscellaneous start-up costs can include unanticipated expenses such as licenses and permits, professional fees for accountants or additional fees for attorneys, or utility deposits. It is important for prospective Anago franchisees to budget accordingly and ensure they have sufficient funds available to cover these costs before launching their franchise.
Franchisees should note that these figures are estimates and actual costs may vary. It is advisable to consult with experienced professionals to develop a detailed business plan and financial projections to account for all potential start-up expenses.
