What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the selection, training, and installment of any Principal Chair for the franchise requires C12 Group's ultimate approval, especially in the context of a non-operating ownership entity. This means that even if the franchise is owned by investors who are not actively involved in the daily operations, C12 Group retains the right to ensure that the individual chosen to lead the franchise meets their standards.
This requirement ensures that all Principal Chairs meet C12 Group's standards for moral and spiritual integrity within the community. It also prevents conflicts of interest or predatory business practices. This approval process is in place to maintain the quality and consistency of the C12 Group brand and its services.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that you cannot independently select, train, or install a Principal Chair without C12 Group's explicit consent. This condition applies whether you are an owner-operator or a non-operating owner. This requirement is designed to protect the integrity of the C12 Group system and ensure that all Principal Chairs are aligned with the company's values and standards.
