According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Anago NBDS Support and access fees are paid directly to Anago. This fee currently amounts to $200 per month. It is invoiced monthly and due immediately upon receipt of the invoice.
Anago NBDS Support is provided under the NBDS License Agreement, which is included as an exhibit in the Franchise Disclosure Document. The $200 monthly fee covers program maintenance and access support services. However, the FDD notes that this fee is subject to change.
