What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Subfranchisor is required to refer all National Accounts to Anago. The Subfranchisor is also prohibited from entering into any contracts with National Accounts without first obtaining Anago's written consent.
Anago retains the right to enter into contracts for services to National Accounts, either directly or through a designee, regardless of where the National Account originates. A "National Account" is defined as a client or prospective client with: (i) ten or more locations in the Subfranchisor's area; (ii) multiple locations, some within and some outside the Subfranchisor's area; or (iii) a request for proposal (RFP) where Anago determines the Subfranchisor does not meet the qualifications to respond.
If Anago secures a contract with a National Account that has locations within the Subfranchisor's area, Anago may offer the Subfranchisor the option to license Unit Franchisees to service those locations. This option is subject to terms and conditions set by Anago and is on a non-exclusive basis. This means the Subfranchisor does not have guaranteed access to service these accounts and must adhere to Anago's stipulations if they are granted the opportunity.
