What is the definition of 'Administrative Offices' for a Bee Organized franchise, and what activities are permitted there?

According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an "Administrative Office" is defined as a non-retail, back-end office or facility from which a Bee Organized business is managed. This office serves as the central hub for overseeing the operations of the franchise.

Permitted activities within the Administrative Office include managing the operations of the Bee Organized Franchised Business. The office may also include facilities for storing inventory and supplies necessary for providing Bee Organized's services. Additionally, the Administrative Office can be used for parking vehicles used in the business and for staging on-site client service visits, meaning preparing and organizing for appointments at clients' locations.

Bee Organized allows the Administrative Office to be a home-based office if permitted by law, or a non-retail, non-public back-end office or facility. This flexibility can reduce overhead costs for franchisees, especially in the early stages of the business. However, franchisees must ensure compliance with local laws and regulations, including zoning laws, if they choose to operate from a personal residence. The franchisor's approval is required for the location of the Administrative Office, and it must not be accessible to the public or clients.
