What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise fee is $25,000 per franchise unit. However, the actual fee can vary depending on the target market potential of the territory. C12 Group determines the number of units a territory constitutes. Territories comprising between 0.9 and 1.1 units are counted as one unit. If a territory is less than or more than one unit, the franchise fee is the number of units multiplied by $25,000, but will not be less than $12,500.
For example, a metropolitan market with a defined territory containing an estimated 1.3 units would result in a $32,500 franchise fee. Conversely, a rural market representing 0.65 units would result in a $16,250 franchise fee. A territory of 0.92 units would still have a $25,000 franchise fee, while a market with 0.47 units would have a $12,500 franchise fee, which is the minimum.
This means that prospective C12 Group franchisees need to carefully evaluate the market potential of their territory, as it directly impacts the franchise fee. The franchisor determines the number of units for each territory, so franchisees should understand how this calculation is made. The franchise fee is generally nonrefundable, so it's important to understand the terms and conditions before signing the agreement.
