For how long after the termination or expiration of the Beehive Homes agreement is the franchisee prohibited from transferring equity interest?

According to Beehive Homes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is restricted from transferring any equity interest for a period of three years following the termination or expiration of the franchise agreement. This restriction is in place to protect Beehive Homes's interests and ensure the franchisee's commitment to the brand during the term of the agreement and for a reasonable period afterward. This restriction applies to the franchisee and, if the franchisee is a corporation or other legal entity, to its Equity Owners.

This restriction on equity transfers is in place unless expressly permitted under specific sections of the franchise agreement. Any transfer that violates this provision is considered an unauthorized transfer, which could lead to penalties or other legal consequences.

This clause ensures that the individuals initially approved to operate the Beehive Homes franchise remain committed to the business, preventing unapproved parties from gaining control or influence over the franchise within a certain timeframe after the agreement ends. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the sections outlining permitted transfers to understand the circumstances under which a transfer may be allowed during this period.
