However, C12 Group requires that any proposed business plan for territory expansion be reviewed and approved by them before the franchisee can proceed with the expansion.
Territory expansion requires a payment for each additional Unit of market potential, which is calculated as described in Item 5 & Item 7 of the FDD. The cost is based on C12 Group's prevailing Franchise Fee, which is currently discounted for compliant franchisees seeking to expand at $20,000 per additional Unit.
Furthermore, any additional C12 Associate Chairs needed to service the expanded territory must be mutually selected with the same high standards as Principal Chairs and trained according to C12 Group's certification process. The cost for an Associate Chair for Training Week is $10,000, which must be paid by the franchise, and accompanied by a signed Associate Agreement at least two weeks prior to their Training Week.
