What This Means (2025 FDD)

Ensuring timely payment and agreement submission is crucial to avoid any delays in the Associate Chair's training and integration into your C12 Group operations.
Franchisees are also required to complete an Associate Chair Checklist in coordination with the C12 Group development manager prior to the Associate Chair candidates attending New Chair Training. This checklist is designed to ensure alignment and success factors for new Area Chairs, indicating C12 Group's commitment to maintaining quality and standards across its franchise network.
