What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may only establish additional territories with C12 Group's written permission and by meeting the franchisor's then-current requirements for operating a C12 Group business within multiple territories. The FDD does not specify the exact fees or requirements for expanding a franchisee's territory.
However, the FDD does outline the standard fees associated with a new franchise agreement. These include an initial non-refundable territory fee of $25,000 per franchise unit, a prepaid marketing deposit of $10,000, and a training and support fee ranging from $10,000 to $12,500, which is refundable prior to the start of training. Additionally, franchisees pay continuing fees based on a percentage of monthly member billings, ranging from 12% to 30%, and a new member registration fee ranging from $300 to $500.
Since the FDD does not explicitly state the costs associated with territory expansion, it is important for a prospective franchisee to contact C12 Group directly to understand the specific financial obligations and other requirements for expanding their territory. This will ensure a clear understanding of the investment needed for growth and expansion within the C12 Group franchise system.
