What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Subfranchisor is responsible for several key items when dealing with prospective franchisees. Specifically, the Subfranchisor must deliver their own Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), referred to as the "Subfranchisor - Single Unit" FDD, to potential franchisees in accordance with all applicable laws. This ensures that prospective franchisees receive the necessary information to make an informed decision.
In addition to the FDD, the Anago Subfranchisor is responsible for providing each Unit Franchisee with a copy of the Anago Manuals, including all additions, supplements, improvements, and updates. The Subfranchisor bears the cost of providing these manuals. The Subfranchisor also enters into Anago's current Unit Franchise Agreement with each approved franchise candidate. A current copy of this agreement is included as an exhibit in the FDD.
Furthermore, the Subfranchisor plays a crucial role in the recruitment and screening of potential franchisees. They must screen candidates according to Anago's standards and actively seek out individuals who meet the qualifications to operate an Anago Unit franchise within their designated area. The Subfranchisor is also responsible for obtaining completed franchisee applications for processing and review.
