What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Subfranchisees are required to attend Anago's Annual Seminar at least once per year and are responsible for covering all associated expenses. The Annual Seminar typically lasts 2-3 days, with the dates and location determined solely by Anago.
The Subfranchisee is expected to fully participate in the Annual Seminar, completing each class, segment, or scheduled event. The expenses that the Subfranchisee is responsible for include the standard rates Anago charges for the programs, if any, as well as all travel, meals, and lodging costs for the attendees.
This requirement means that a prospective Anago Subfranchisee needs to factor in these annual costs when assessing the financial viability of the franchise. It is important to budget not only for the seminar fees themselves but also for all related travel and accommodation expenses, which can vary depending on the seminar's location.
