What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the installation of the standard sign. Beehive Homes will deliver one standard sign to the franchisee, conforming to local requirements regarding size and style. The franchisee must then engage their own contractor to handle the installation of this sign at their Beehive Homes location.
This means that while Beehive Homes provides the sign itself, the franchisee bears the responsibility and cost of ensuring it is properly installed according to local regulations. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where franchisees are generally responsible for build-out and setup costs, including signage.
Prospective Beehive Homes franchisees should factor in the cost of contractor installation when budgeting for their initial startup expenses. It would be prudent to obtain quotes from local contractors to estimate these costs accurately. Franchisees should also confirm with Beehive Homes the exact specifications of the sign to ensure compliance with both brand standards and local ordinances.
