What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may incur approximately $1,000 every 3-4 years to update or replace their computer. While C12 Group does not require franchisees to keep their computers updated, this is an estimated cost that franchisees should anticipate.
The computer must be capable of operating Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel), Apple/Mac products (Keynote), and Google Suite web products. The initial purchase price for such hardware is estimated to be a minimum of $1,000 if the franchisee does not already have a suitable computer.
In addition to the computer, franchisees will need other devices, projection, audio/visual, and recording equipment, with an estimated cost between $300 and $1,000. The cost of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is estimated to be a minimum of $700 as of the date of the disclosure document. Franchisees must also have high-speed internet and emailing service capable of receiving 300+ MB files and a laser or inkjet color printer to print supplemental materials.
