What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor has the sole discretion to determine if a transferee is qualified to become a franchisee. This means C12 Group has the final say in approving any transfer of ownership.
Specifically, the franchisor will evaluate the qualifications of the potential successor or transferee. They will also assess the viability of the business plan, including the recognition of franchise purchase terms. The transferee must also successfully complete New Chair Training and pay a $6,000 transfer fee. If the transferee is not an existing C12 Group franchisee, they must also pay a training fee to the franchisor.
This process ensures that any new franchisee meets C12 Group's standards and is capable of maintaining the brand's reputation and service quality. The transfer is officially approved only after C12 Group deems the transferee qualified, the $6,000 transfer fee is paid, all outstanding amounts owed by the current franchisee are paid, a general release of the franchisor is executed, and a new franchise agreement is signed if more than 50% of the business is being transferred.
