What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who wants to make changes to member application or covenant forms must get approval from C12 Group. The modified forms must still give C12 Group the details it needs to keep the community working well and valuable for its members.
While franchisees can set their own registration and monthly membership fees based on the local economy, these pricing changes must be discussed with C12 Group in advance. This suggests that while franchisees have some pricing flexibility, C12 Group maintains control over the overall structure and information collected through these forms.
This requirement ensures that all C12 Group franchises maintain a consistent standard and that the franchisor has the necessary data from all members across different locations. For a potential franchisee, this means they cannot independently alter these forms without prior consent, ensuring uniformity and adherence to the C12 Group system standards.
