What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beehive Homes Franchise Disclosure Document, several actions can trigger a default under the franchise agreement. These events range from monetary failures to operational and legal issues.
Specifically, a failure to pay monies when due, or any failure to perform or observe the terms and conditions of the agreement, can lead to default. Operationally, if the Beehive Homes location's occupancy falls below 50% for 30 or more consecutive days after initially exceeding that level, it constitutes an event of default.
Furthermore, legal and financial troubles such as filing for bankruptcy, facing insolvency, making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting an inability to pay debts can also trigger default. Any action or inaction that could materially harm the goodwill associated with the Beehive Homes brand, engaging in unauthorized transfers of the franchise, or the occurrence of a default under any other agreement with Beehive Homes or its affiliates are also considered events of default. A franchisee should be aware of these potential pitfalls to ensure compliance and avoid jeopardizing their franchise agreement.
