What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current Brand Fund Fee is 2% of the Studio's Gross Sales. This fee is collected by Beem Light Sauna to administer the Brand Fund, which is used for marketing and promoting the Beem Light Sauna brand.
The Brand Fund Fee is due weekly by the 5th of each month, referred to as the "Payment Due Date." The FDD also defines Gross Sales as all revenue received from operating the Studio, including cash, credit, and other forms of payment, but excluding returns, credits, and sales taxes.
Beem Light Sauna retains the right to increase the Brand Fund Fee up to a maximum of 4% of Gross Sales. This means that while the current fee is set at 2%, franchisees should be aware that this percentage could potentially double over the term of their franchise agreement. Franchisees should factor this potential increase into their financial projections and business planning.
