When transferring an Anago franchise, who is responsible for covering the expenses associated with the transferee completing the Anago Orientation Program?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when transferring an Anago franchise, the transferee is responsible for covering the expenses associated with completing the Anago Orientation Program. This requirement is part of the conditions that must be met for the transfer to be approved by Anago.

Specifically, the transferee must complete the Anago Orientation Program then in effect for new Unit Franchisees upon all terms Anago reasonably requires, and this is to be done at the transferee's expense. This ensures that the new franchisee is properly trained and capable of meeting Anago's standards.

This requirement protects Anago by ensuring that anyone taking over an existing franchise has the necessary skills and knowledge to maintain the brand's quality and reputation. For a prospective transferee, it's crucial to factor in these orientation costs when considering the financial implications of purchasing an existing Anago franchise.
