According to Beehive Homes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beehive Homes does not offer financing for any part of the initial investment. This is explicitly stated in Item 7, which outlines the estimated initial investment for a new franchise.
Specifically, the FDD states that Beehive Homes does not provide financing for the initial franchise fee, which ranges from $75,000 for the first franchise.

These items include building costs, which range from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, which range from $120,000 to $150,000, and additional funds for employees and the first six months of operation, which range from $160,900 to $186,600.

This is a significant financial undertaking, and potential franchisees should carefully consider their financing options and consult with financial advisors before making a decision.
