What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training and training materials are waived for a subfranchisor if the subfranchisor is a current owner/operator of another Anago Master Franchise not in default. This waiver is agreed upon by both Anago and the subfranchisor.
This condition benefits existing Anago master franchise owners who are looking to expand their involvement with the brand by becoming subfranchisors. Because they already possess the knowledge and experience from operating a master franchise, Anago recognizes that repeating the initial training would be redundant.
It is important to note that this waiver is only applicable if the existing master franchise is not in default. Defaulting on the master franchise agreement would likely disqualify the owner from the training waiver, as it indicates a failure to adhere to Anago's standards and practices. Prospective subfranchisors should ensure their master franchise is in good standing to take advantage of this waiver.
