What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Supplier Testing Fee is due immediately upon receipt of an invoice. This fee is charged if a franchisee proposes to purchase or lease equipment, supplies, advertising materials, or other products or services from a supplier not already approved by Anago.
In such cases, Anago has the right to require an inspection of the supplier's facilities and testing of samples as a condition of approval. The Supplier Testing Fee covers the reimbursement of Anago's reasonable costs for the inspection and the actual cost of the testing itself.
This policy is in place to ensure that all suppliers meet Anago's standards and that the products and services used by franchisees are of acceptable quality. It is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure that any unapproved suppliers are submitted for approval and to cover the associated testing fees promptly upon invoicing.
