There are no material financial or operational differences between these franchisees and the franchise offered under this disclosure document except that, as disclosed in Item 6, some early franchisees are "grandfathered in" at lower Royalty Fee percentages, but the different Royalty Fee percentages do not affect the Total Revenue earned by those franchisees. These figures were reported to us by our franchisees and have not been audited or independently verified.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 67 C12 Forum businesses that were open and operating as of December 31, 2024, were all operated by C12 Group franchisees. This indicates that C12 Group focuses on a franchise model rather than operating company-owned locations.
For a prospective franchisee, this is a positive sign, as it means the franchisor is invested in the success of its franchisees. It also suggests that the franchisor has experience in supporting franchisees and helping them to grow their businesses. The FDD notes that two franchisees opened during 2024 and were excluded from the financial performance data, while the remaining 65 franchisees that were open from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, reported total revenue of $44,250,036.
It is important to note that these figures were reported by the franchisees and have not been audited or independently verified. Prospective franchisees should keep this in mind when reviewing the financial performance representation and conduct their own due diligence to verify the accuracy of the information. C12 Group does provide written substantiation for the financial performance representation upon reasonable request.
