What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for an Associate Chair to attend Training Week is $10,000. This fee must be paid by the franchisee. Additionally, the Associate Chair Agreement must be signed and submitted at least two weeks before the training begins. Franchise owners also need to complete the Associate Chair Checklist in coordination with the C12 Group development manager before the Associate attends Training Week.
This means that if a C12 Group franchisee wants to expand their territory and needs additional Associate Chairs, they will incur a $10,000 training fee for each Associate Chair. This cost is in addition to any fees associated with expanding the territory itself, as outlined in Item 5 and Item 7 of the FDD. The requirement to submit the Associate Agreement two weeks in advance suggests careful planning and coordination are necessary.
Franchisees should factor this training cost into their financial projections when considering territory expansion and the hiring of Associate Chairs. The checklist requirement indicates that C12 Group has a structured onboarding process for Associate Chairs, which aims to ensure they are adequately prepared to support the franchisee's business operations. Failing to meet these requirements could delay the Associate Chair's training and impact the franchisee's ability to expand their business effectively.
