What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Associate Chairs pay a training and support fee of $7,500. This fee is refundable if the franchisee cancels before training begins.
Prospective C12 Group franchisees should note that this fee is less than the training and support fee for Principal Chairs, which ranges from $10,000 to $12,500. This difference in fees likely reflects the different roles and responsibilities of Associate Chairs compared to Principal Chairs within the C12 Group franchise system.
It is important to confirm with C12 Group whether there are any other fees associated with training or ongoing support for Associate Chairs, as the FDD also mentions other fees such as monthly support fees and fees for semi-annual chair training. Understanding the full scope of fees is crucial for budgeting and financial planning as a franchisee.
