What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise fee is due as a lump sum when you sign the Franchise Agreement. The standard franchise fee for a single unit is $65,000. This fee is generally non-refundable unless stated otherwise.
For franchisees entering into a Development Agreement to open multiple Beem Light Sauna studios, a Development Fee is required upon signing the Development Agreement. The amount of this fee varies depending on the number of studios the franchisee commits to develop. For example, if a franchisee commits to developing three studios, the franchise fee would be $55,000 per studio. If they commit to developing ten studios, the franchise fee would be $35,000 per studio. The Development Fee is credited towards the initial franchise fee for each studio developed under the Development Agreement and is also non-refundable.
Prospective franchisees should note that the timing of the franchise fee payment is a critical consideration when planning their initial investment. Understanding when this payment is due allows for better financial planning and ensures compliance with the franchise agreement terms. Franchisees should also confirm with Beem Light Sauna whether there are any circumstances under which the franchise fee could be refundable, despite the general policy of non-refundability.
