What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, miscellaneous expenditures for an Express Retail Center, which range from $2,000 to $3,000, are due as incurred. The method of payment is as agreed upon. These payments are made to suppliers, employees, and other entities.
This means that as an Annex Brands franchisee, you will need to have funds available to cover these miscellaneous costs as they arise during the establishment and operation of your Express Retail Center. These costs can include a variety of items necessary for running the business, and the timing of these payments will depend on when these expenses are incurred.
Prospective franchisees should budget accordingly to ensure they can meet these obligations as they become due. Understanding the 'as incurred' payment schedule is crucial for managing cash flow during the initial setup and ongoing operation of the franchise.
