What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who is leaving C12 Group must notify all members in their territory about their departure. The franchisee must inform these members of their option to continue participating in CEO Forums and Key Player Forums under a new Area Chair appointed by C12 Group. C12 Group will formally present this option to the members.
Members have the freedom to either remain C12 Group members or seek alternative CEO roundtable arrangements after being informed of their options. The departing franchisee is obligated to conduct themselves in a manner that serves the best interests of the group members during the transition. This includes preserving Kingdom unity and fellowship within the group.
Additionally, the franchisee must stop using all C12 Group materials, trade names, and marks, and avoid implying any continued association with C12 Group. This ensures a clear separation and prevents confusion among members regarding the franchisee's departure and the future of their membership.
