When are payments for supplies due for an Annex Brands Express Retail Center?

Based on the 2025 FDD, the excerpt provided does not specify when payments for supplies are due for an Annex Brands Express Retail Center. However, Note 14 in Item 7 mentions that franchisees will need office supplies such as telephones, answering machines, shipping labels, brand labels, telephone connections, in-center marketing collateral, business cards, letterhead, and Notary equipment.

Because the FDD does not specify when payments for supplies are due, prospective franchisees should ask Annex Brands directly about the payment terms for these required supplies. Understanding these payment terms is crucial for managing cash flow and budgeting, especially during the initial months of operation.

Specifically, franchisees should inquire about whether supplies must be paid for upfront, whether there are any credit terms available, and what the typical billing cycle is. This information will help franchisees plan their finances and ensure they can meet their obligations to Annex Brands and other suppliers.
