What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, a franchisee must not hold itself out as a Beehive Homes franchisee. This includes ceasing all use of the Beehive Homes' Names and Marks, Trade Secrets, and Copyrighted Materials.

To disassociate from Beehive Homes, the franchisee must remove signs, destroy letterhead, and disconnect all telephone numbers listed under the Beehive Homes' Names or Marks or any confusingly similar name. Upon Beehive Homes' request, the franchisee must transfer all such numbers and listings to Beehive Homes or its designee. The franchisee must also take action to amend or cancel any assumed name, business name, or equivalent registration containing any Names or Marks. The franchisee must also cease all operations at the location.

Furthermore, the franchisee is required to furnish satisfactory evidence of compliance with these requirements to Beehive Homes within 30 calendar days after termination or expiration of the agreement. If the franchisee fails to complete these steps, Beehive Homes is irrevocably appointed as the franchisee's attorney-in-fact to complete these actions on behalf of the franchisee.
