What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, healthcare licensing and certification of the Home and employees does not generally cause significant delays in the opening process. The FDD states that the typical length of time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening a Beehive Homes location can vary greatly, taking up to 18 to 30 months.
Factors that usually affect the length of time include obtaining a satisfactory location, securing financing, finalizing architectural plans to comply with building codes, local zoning and ordinance compliance, permitting, site improvement, construction of the Home, and the delivery and installation of decor, fixtures, and equipment.
While healthcare licensing and certification are necessary steps, they are not identified as a primary cause of delays. This suggests that Beehive Homes has systems in place to manage these processes efficiently, or that these processes are generally straightforward in the locations where Beehive Homes franchises operate. Prospective franchisees should still confirm the specific licensing and certification requirements in their area and factor those timelines into their opening plans.
