Is the franchisee solely responsible for the terms of all contracts related to their Beehive Homes franchise?

According to the 2025 Beehive Homes Franchise Disclosure Document, while Beehive Homes may offer assistance and guidance in negotiating construction, equipment, and supply contracts for the construction, furnishing, and equipping of the Home, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for the terms of all contracts and exercising adequate supervision. This means that Beehive Homes franchisees must carefully review and understand all contracts they enter into for their business.

This allocation of responsibility is typical in franchising, where franchisees are generally considered independent business owners. Franchisees need to conduct their own due diligence, seek legal counsel, and ensure that the contract terms align with their business needs and financial capabilities.

Therefore, prospective Beehive Homes franchisees should be prepared to manage the contractual aspects of setting up and operating their location. They should not rely solely on the franchisor's guidance but should actively participate in negotiations and seek professional advice to protect their interests.
