Site Selection and Assistance
We provide guidance during Training Week for the kind of venue you should arrange for introductory events and for Business Forum meetings.
C12 imposes no meeting site selection criteria or requirements upon you, except that the meeting site must be consistent with high-quality standards of a board meeting location such as a private country club or resort setting that a member would customarily find private, comfortable, and refreshing. Regular Business Forum meetings should not occur in member workplaces unless an exception is granted by C12, and all meeting experiences should comply with the Field Operations Guide and Meeting Playbook standards.
Time to Open
The typical length of time between signing the franchise agreement and opening for business is ninety (90) days, which depends on how quickly you attend and complete our initial training program.
