Is Anago obligated to provide any other ongoing support services to subfranchisees, such as hiring employees or establishing prices?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago is not obligated to provide ongoing support services to its subfranchisees. Specifically, Anago is not required to assist with hiring employees, establishing prices, setting up bookkeeping, accounting, or inventory control procedures, or resolving operational issues that may arise. This means that subfranchisees are largely responsible for managing these aspects of their business independently.

This lack of mandated support places a greater onus on the subfranchisee to possess or acquire the necessary skills and resources to handle these critical business functions. While Anago may offer assistance at its discretion, it is not contractually obligated to do so. This could present challenges for subfranchisees who lack experience in these areas, potentially impacting their ability to effectively manage and grow their Anago business.

Prospective subfranchisees should carefully consider this limited support structure and evaluate their own capabilities and resources. It would be prudent to inquire about the availability and cost of any additional training or support services that Anago might offer beyond its mandatory obligations. Understanding the full scope of available support, even if not guaranteed, is crucial for making an informed decision about investing in an Anago subfranchise.
