What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the maximum fee for optional additional training programs is $3,000 per attendee per program. This fee is not charged for training programs that Beem Light Sauna requires franchisees or their employees to attend, except for initial training under specific circumstances detailed in Item 5 of the FDD.
This means that if a Beem Light Sauna franchisee chooses to send themselves or their employees to optional training programs, they could incur a cost of up to $3,000 per person for each program. This cost should be factored into the franchisee's budget and considered when evaluating the benefits of additional training.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the circumstances under which training fees are charged. While required training is generally included, optional programs come at an additional cost. Franchisees should weigh the potential benefits of these optional programs against the associated fees to make informed decisions about their training investments.
