What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Presale Kit Payment is due prior to opening the studio, as specified by the franchisor. The Presale Kit Payment is $6,000, plus actual shipping costs. This payment covers branded items such as a pop-up tent, event banners, and other promotional materials to support community outreach events.
This means that a prospective Beem Light Sauna franchisee must budget for this $6,000 payment, plus shipping, in advance of their studio opening. The franchisor determines the exact timing of the payment and what specific items will be included in the presale kit. The FDD specifies that the franchisee will not receive a refund for this payment, even if they do not open their studio.
It is important for potential franchisees to understand that the Presale Kit Payment is non-refundable and is in addition to other fees associated with opening a Beem Light Sauna franchise, such as the franchise fee and initial investment. Franchisees should clarify with Beem Light Sauna what the 'specified' timing of payment is and what items are included in the presale kit to ensure they are prepared for pre-opening marketing and promotional activities.
