What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, if a C12 Group franchisee wants to send an Associate Chair to Training Week, the franchise must pay $10,000 for the Associate Chair's training. This payment, along with a signed Associate Agreement, must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of the Training Week.
This requirement means that prospective C12 Group franchisees need to factor in the cost and timing of Associate Chair training when planning their business operations. Failing to meet the payment deadline could delay the training of an Associate Chair, potentially impacting the franchisee's ability to expand their territory or serve additional members.
It is important for franchisees to coordinate closely with C12 Group's development manager and complete the Associate Chair Checklist before the training. This ensures that the Associate Chair is adequately prepared for the training and that all necessary documentation is submitted on time. Meeting these requirements is crucial for franchisees looking to grow their business and maintain compliance with C12 Group's standards.
