What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 details the franchisee's obligations, and indicates which sections of the agreement and disclosure document pertain to site development and other pre-opening requirements. Specifically, obligation 'c' refers to site development and other pre-opening requirements.
This obligation corresponds to Sections III, IV, and V of the Franchise Agreement, as well as Items 5, 7, and 11 of the Disclosure Document. This means franchisees should review these sections carefully to understand their responsibilities related to preparing their business location and meeting all pre-opening requirements.
Item 11 also provides more detail regarding site selection and assistance. C12 Group provides guidance during the Training Week for the kind of venue to arrange for introductory events and Business Forum meetings. C12 Group imposes no meeting site selection criteria or requirements except that the meeting site must be consistent with high-quality standards of a board meeting location such as a private country club or resort setting that a member would customarily find private, comfortable, and refreshing. Regular Business Forum meetings should not occur in member workplaces unless an exception is granted by C12, and all meeting experiences should comply with the Field Operations Guide and Meeting Playbook standards.
