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 decision. 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, either collectively or individually. Members are free to either remain C12 Group members or seek alternative CEO roundtable arrangements after being informed of their options.
The franchisee is obligated to conduct themselves in a way that serves the best interests of the group members and preserves Kingdom unity and fellowship during the transition. This means the departing franchisee should prioritize the well-being and continued engagement of the members within the C12 Group framework.
Furthermore, the franchisee must cease using all C12 materials, trade names, and marks, and avoid implying any continued association with C12 Group after termination. This ensures a clear separation and prevents confusion among members regarding the franchisee's departure and their new status. These measures collectively aim to maintain the integrity and continuity of the C12 Group community during a franchisee transition.
