What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who transfers their franchise to a new owner must pay a transfer fee. The minimum transfer fee is $2,000, but it could be higher. Specifically, the transfer fee is the greater of $2,000 or 10% of the sale price of the franchise. This fee is paid in place of the initial franchise fee that a new franchisee would typically pay.
There is an exception to this transfer fee for transfers to a spouse or child. In that case, Anago will not charge a transfer fee, but will charge a $250 administrative fee.
In addition to the transfer fee, the potential new franchisee must meet several conditions to be approved. They must interview at Anago's principal office, demonstrate the necessary business and personal skills, have a good reputation and the required financial capacity, and complete Anago's application process. The transferee must also complete the Anago Orientation Program and sign the then-current franchise agreement, which may contain different terms than the original agreement.
