What are the requirements for individuals to become members of a C12 Group Business Forum?

According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, membership in a C12 Business Forum is open to qualified business owners, CEOs, and general managers, along with their staff. To become a member, individuals must agree to comply with C12 Group's behavioral protocols, maintain confidentiality, and resolve conflicts through biblical methods. They also need to participate actively in the 'iron sharpening iron' peer group process, which involves both listening and speaking in mutual 'business-as-ministry' efforts. Additionally, all members must pledge to adhere to a non-solicitation protocol.

These requirements ensure that C12 Group Business Forum members are aligned with the organization's values and are committed to creating a supportive and confidential environment for peer-to-peer advice and growth. The behavioral protocols and confidentiality agreements are standard practices in executive coaching and peer advisory groups, as they help to build trust and foster open communication among members. The emphasis on biblical methods and 'business-as-ministry' reflects C12 Group's unique approach, which integrates faith-based principles into business practices.

The non-solicitation protocol is particularly important for maintaining the integrity of the forum and preventing members from using the group for personal gain or competitive advantage. By agreeing to these requirements, prospective members demonstrate their commitment to the C12 Group's mission and values, ensuring that the Business Forum remains a valuable resource for all participants. Franchisee territory figures are based upon qualified/eligible individuals and, in good faith, all members of a Business Forum should meet or exceed minimum standards.
