What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, C12 Group requires a $6,000 transfer fee to approve the sale or transfer of a franchise. This fee is one of the conditions that must be met before the transfer is approved.
Specifically, the transfer fee must be paid to C12 Group before the transfer can be finalized. Additionally, the potential transferee must be deemed qualified by C12 Group, and any outstanding amounts owed by the current franchisee must be paid. If more than 50% of the franchise business is being transferred, a new franchise agreement must be signed with the transferee.
Furthermore, if the transferee is not an existing C12 Group franchisee, they will also be required to pay a training fee. These stipulations ensure that the new franchisee is adequately trained and financially prepared to take over the C12 Group franchise, maintaining the standards and reputation of the C12 Group system.
