Does Beehive Homes provide material benefits to franchisees for purchasing from designated suppliers?

According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beehive Homes does not provide material benefits to franchisees for purchasing products and services from designated suppliers. Franchisees are not obligated to purchase or lease goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment, inventory, computer hardware and software, real estate, or comparable items from Beehive Homes, their designees, or approved suppliers.

Beehive Homes may provide specifications for certain items like furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and materials, including minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, and appearance. Franchisees can purchase items meeting these specifications from any source. Beehive Homes does not maintain a list of approved suppliers or criteria for approving suppliers, effectively allowing franchisees to choose any supplier that meets their specifications, subject to Beehive Homes' review.

Beehive Homes does not receive income from franchisee purchases from third parties, nor do they offer purchasing or distribution cooperatives or negotiated special pricing arrangements with suppliers for the benefit of franchisees. This arrangement allows franchisees flexibility in sourcing supplies and equipment, but it also places the responsibility on them to ensure suppliers meet Beehive Homes' standards and to negotiate pricing independently.
