What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Presale Kit Payment is defined as a payment of $6,000 plus the actual shipping costs for a presale kit. This payment is nonrefundable. The shipping costs are estimated to range from $0 to $3,000. The Presale Kit Payment is for a kit of branded items, such as a popup tent, event banners, and other promotional materials to support grassroots and community outreach events.
For a prospective Beem Light Sauna franchisee, this means that prior to opening their studio, they must pay $6,000 for the presale kit, in addition to shipping costs. The total cost for the Presale Kit Payment could range from $6,000 to $9,000, depending on the shipping costs. This payment is nonrefundable, so it's important for franchisees to understand what the kit includes and how they plan to use it for marketing purposes.
The Presale Kit will be automatically shipped to the franchisee upon the purchase of their Initial FF&E Package. This implies that franchisees need to plan their purchases accordingly to ensure they receive the kit in time for their pre-opening marketing activities. The kit is intended to support grassroots and community outreach events, which suggests that Beem Light Sauna places importance on local marketing efforts by its franchisees.
