What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must own their own tools, equipment, and supplies necessary to perform contracted work for their Unit Franchise. However, the FDD does not specify what form of proof, such as receipts or titles, a franchisee must provide to Anago to demonstrate ownership of these items.
Instead, the document focuses on where franchisees can source their equipment and supplies. Franchisees are not allowed to use Anago's tools, equipment, or supplies. They must purchase specific items from Anago or an approved supplier, as detailed in Exhibits 3, 4, and 5. These exhibits are included in the initial fee for Programs I through X+, while purchasers of Programs 0 and 500 must buy these supplies separately.
Prospective Anago franchisees should inquire with Anago about the specific documentation required to prove ownership of their equipment and supplies. Understanding these requirements is crucial for ensuring compliance with Anago's standards and avoiding any potential issues during inspections or audits.
