For how long after termination or expiration of the franchise agreement is a C12 Group franchisee subject to non-competition covenants?

According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is subject to a post-termination non-competition covenant for two years after the termination of the Franchise Agreement. This applies regardless of the reason for termination.

Specifically, during this two-year period, the franchisee cannot directly or indirectly own an interest in, be employed by, or be engaged with a business that is considered competitive to C12 Group. This restriction applies within the franchisee's territory, within ten miles of that territory, within the territory of any other C12 Group franchise, or within ten miles of any other C12 Group franchise territory. A "Competitive Business" is defined as any business that offers peer mentorship and coaching to Christian business leaders.

However, this post-termination non-competition obligation does not apply if the franchisee pays C12 Group the Exit Fee. This provides an option for franchisees who wish to engage in a competitive business immediately after leaving the C12 Group system, allowing them to do so by paying the specified fee.
