What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are under no obligation to perform a Service Order if they elect to reject it. Franchisees have 10 days to evaluate a proposed Service Order from Bee Organized and decide whether to accept it. This Service Order will disclose the services and products to be performed, pricing, timing requirements, and other relevant information. If a franchisee does not respond in writing within those 10 days, it is considered a rejection of the Service Order.
This policy provides franchisees with the flexibility to manage their workload and resources. They are not forced to accept every service order that comes their way, allowing them to focus on opportunities that best fit their capabilities and business goals. This can be particularly beneficial for franchisees who may have limited capacity or prefer to specialize in certain types of organizational projects.
However, Bee Organized may choose not to submit a Service Order to a franchisee if they determine that the franchisee does not have the capacity, skills, or resources to provide the approved services and products. In this case, Bee Organized, its affiliates, or other franchisees may be selected to provide services to corporate accounts within the franchisee's operating territory. Therefore, it is important for franchisees to maintain adequate operational capacity and demonstrate their ability to handle corporate account services to avoid missing out on potential business opportunities.
