What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee needs written approval from the franchisor for certain actions. Specifically, the franchisee must obtain written approval from C12 Group to offer and sell services and products not already approved in the Operations Manual. C12 Group also retains the right to modify approved products or services at its discretion, and the franchisee must comply with these modifications.
Additionally, a C12 Group franchisee needs written permission from the franchisor to establish additional territories beyond the initial one granted in the franchise agreement. The franchisee must also meet C12 Group's requirements for operating in multiple territories. If a franchisee wishes to deviate from the System Standards, they must seek written approval from C12 Group ahead of time.
Furthermore, if a prospective member who lives and works outside of the franchisee's territory contacts the franchisee, the franchisee must inform the prospective member about other C12 Group business forum options and provide them with the contact information of the C12 Group franchisee whose territory they reside and work within.
