What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after a Subfranchisor receives a client payment and deposits it into the designated Anago Escrow Account, the Franchisor will distribute client receipts to the Subfranchisor once per week, specifically on Wednesdays. This disbursement includes client receipts deposited into the Anago Escrow Account during the prior week, which runs from Sunday through Saturday, and have cleared.
However, this distribution is not the total amount deposited. Anago will deduct any funds owed to the Franchisor or its affiliates before disbursing the receipts. These deductions can include royalties, administrative support fees, insurance fees, accounting fees, service fees (such as bank fees or credit card fees), advertising fees, late fees, temporary management fees, interest, and any other payments due to Anago or its affiliates.
Additionally, Anago will hold back a portion of the funds in the Anago Escrow Account to cover any amounts the Subfranchisor owes to it under the agreement. The Subfranchisor is responsible for paying sales tax from their operating account and for paying their Unit Franchisees for services rendered to clients, typically on the 20th day of each month following the month the services were provided, unless otherwise specified in the Unit Franchise Agreement.
