C12_Group Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
No Restriction on Purchases from Suppliers**
You are supplied, at no additional cost to you, a start-up supply of C12 printed and electronic materials upon completion of initial training, as well as access to C12 web resources. Also, you may purchase additional supplies as needed via an exclusive C12 web store pre-loaded with appropriately branded collateral. All C12 monthly meeting materials are to be used in compliance with the Brand Standards established by C12 and are to be printed and supplied by C12 at no additional cost to you, or, at your option, printed locally by you (or your contractor) at your own expense on C12 specified paper (either blank paper or template sheets).
Monthly Business Forum Meetings are to utilize C12's prescribed monthly agenda, curriculum, mixedmedia format, and facilitation notes and forms which are supplied at no additional cost either in hard copy
or downloadable format from a web platform supplied by C12. You may supplement these materials with others of your own choosing and utilize helpful resources to enrich your members' overall C12 experience (e.g., lunchtime videos or handouts) in a manner which does not modify the intended standard C12 meeting flow and process.

C12 Group estimates that they routinely supply at least 90% of all materials and supplies required to facilitate an effective monthly Business Forum meeting and conduct monthly one-on-one consultation sessions with each member at no additional cost to the franchisee. The optional items that franchisees may order are sold at a cost intended merely to offset C12 Group's costs. C12 Group aims to produce elements of its process centrally whenever this serves as an advantage (cost/quality/service) to its franchisees.
