What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is permitted to relocate their business, at their own expense and discretion, as long as the relocation occurs within the geographic territory boundaries as clearly defined in the Franchise Agreement. The FDD specifies that franchisees are NOT permitted to relocate the business outside of their Territory under any circumstances.
The territory is defined mutually by C12 Group and the franchisee and should be incorporated in the business plan development. The territory is defined based on geography, such as cities, zip codes, counties, states, or the radius around the franchisee's home address.
It is important to note that while relocation within the defined territory is permitted, expansion of the territory requires a separate business plan that C12 Group must review and approve. Territory expansion will require a payment for each additional Unit of market potential (calculated as described in Item 5 & Item 7) according to C12's prevailing Franchise Fee (i.e., currently discounted for compliant franchisees seeking to expand at $20,000 per additional Unit).
