Beehive_Homes Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The typical length of time between the signing of the Franchise Agreement with the accompanying payment of one-third (1/3) of the initial franchise fee and the opening of YOUR Bee Hive Home can vary greatly, up to 18 months to 30 months.
Factors affecting this length of time usually include obtaining a satisfactory location, financing arrangements, finalizing architectural plans conforming with applicable building codes, local zoning and ordinance compliance, permitting, site improvement, construction of the Home and delivery and installation of decor, fixtures and equipment.
Healthcare licensing and certification of the Home and employees does not generally cause any significant delays in the process.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the typical length of time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening a Beehive Homes location can vary greatly, ranging from 18 months to 30 months. This timeframe starts after the franchisee makes the initial payment of one-third of the total franchise fee.
Several factors can influence this timeline. These include securing a suitable location, arranging financing, finalizing architectural plans to comply with building codes, meeting local zoning and ordinance requirements, obtaining necessary permits, completing site improvements, constructing the Beehive Homes facility, and ensuring the delivery and installation of decor, fixtures, and equipment.
Notably, the FDD states that healthcare licensing and certification of the Beehive Homes facility and its employees generally do not cause significant delays in the opening process. However, franchisees should still account for these steps in their overall project timeline. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors and their potential impact on the opening timeline when planning their Beehive Homes franchise launch.
