What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Training and Technology Fee is $12,000. This fee is due upon signing the Franchise Agreement and no later than two weeks prior to the scheduled training. This fee covers the costs associated with the initial training and technology provided to new franchisees.
C12 Group offers a partial refund of the Training and Technology Fee under specific conditions. If a franchisee notifies C12 Group in writing at least two days before training that they are not moving forward with the franchise, the entire Training and Technology Fee will be refunded. However, if the decision to withdraw occurs during the training period, only 50% of the fee will be refunded.
Prospective C12 Group franchisees should be aware of these payment terms and refund policies, as the Training and Technology Fee represents a significant initial investment. Understanding the conditions under which a refund can be obtained is crucial for managing financial risks associated with starting the franchise. Franchisees should also note that failure to meet Training Week requirements may result in additional fees for further training.
