What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the high estimate for the Initial FF&E Package is $22,700. This package includes essential equipment such as saunas, a red light system, a 42 to 50-inch touchscreen monitor, iPads, furniture, fixtures, décor, retail displays, and shelving necessary to furnish the studio. The estimate also covers delivery costs.
However, this initial estimate of $22,700 assumes that the franchisee will finance the Initial FF&E Package through a third-party vendor via a lease-to-own or similar financing arrangement. This estimate includes a standard deposit (0% to 10%), lease documentation, origination and filing fees, and scheduled payments due within the first four months of operations.
If a franchisee chooses to forego financing and instead purchases the Initial FF&E Package outright, the estimated cost will range from $148,500 to $195,500, payable directly to Beem Light Sauna. This represents a significantly higher initial investment compared to financing the package. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully consider their financing options and capital availability when planning their investment in a Beem Light Sauna franchise.
