What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program for a subfranchisor is currently two weeks long. This training is mandatory for the subfranchisor or its managing owner and must be completed within 90 days of signing the agreement. However, Anago retains the right to modify the training program at any time.
The training may cover various aspects of the business, including unit sales, solicitation, orientation, management, contract sales (including marketing, prospecting, telemarketing, bidding), and customer contract management, invoicing, and statement processing. This suggests Anago aims to equip subfranchisors with a comprehensive understanding of the business operations.
An exception exists if the subfranchisor is a current owner/operator of another Anago Master Franchise in good standing; in this case, all training and training materials may be waived by both parties. If a subfranchisor fails to complete the initial training to Anago's satisfaction, Anago can either offer retraining or terminate the agreement, retaining the subfranchise fee to cover associated expenses and lost time.
