What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, C12 Group Area Chairs receive a subsidized conference fee for the periodic C12 CURRENT conference. This conference is a two-day event held in a resort or hotel setting, designed for C12 Group community members, including board members, Area Chairs, members, spouses, affiliates, friends, and non-member Christian business leaders. The subsidized fee covers the cost of sessions and meals.
This subsidy is a notable benefit for C12 Group Area Chairs, as it reduces the financial burden of attending the conference. However, standard charges typically apply for spouses, family members, personal travel, and lodging, meaning Area Chairs will need to budget for these additional expenses if they attend with family or require accommodation.
It is common in the franchise industry for franchisors to offer discounted or subsidized rates for training, conferences, and other events to their franchisees. This is often seen as a way to encourage participation and ensure that franchisees stay informed and engaged with the brand. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical cost of attending the C12 CURRENT conference to fully understand the value of the subsidy.
