Who is the parent company of Anago?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Anago Franchising, Inc. (AFI) is the franchisor. AFI's parent company is Anago Cleaning Systems, Inc. (ACS). ACS grants AFI a license to use the Proprietary Marks and other Proprietary Property, which AFI then sublicenses to the franchisee, who in turn sublicenses to their Unit Franchisees. ACS was formed on December 5, 2000, and shares the same principal business address and phone number as AFI. ACS has not operated or offered franchises for the type of business the franchisee will operate, nor has it offered franchises in any other line of business.

In essence, Anago Cleaning Systems, Inc. owns the Anago brand and related intellectual property, and licenses it to Anago Franchising, Inc., which is the entity that actually offers and sells Anago franchises. This structure is common in franchising, where a separate entity owns the trademarks and licenses them to the operating company.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that while they will be dealing directly with Anago Franchising, Inc. for the purchase and operation of their franchise, the ultimate rights to the Anago brand and system are held by Anago Cleaning Systems, Inc. This distinction may be important in understanding the long-term stability and control of the Anago franchise system.
