services to our franchisees.
The Business and Franchises Offered. We are offering, under the terms of this Disclosure Document, the opportunity to become a franchisee to develop and operate one or more Studios (each, a "Franchise"). Studios offer consumer-grade infrared, red light, and chromotherapy solutions and related services and products in a private spa-like setting.
A Studio operates under the Brand and certain other trademarks, service marks, trade names, signs, associated designs, artwork, and logos (collectively, the "Marks"). We may designate other trade names, service marks, and trademarks as Marks and may change the Marks at any time.
A Studio operates under a prescribed system of specifications and operating procedures that we have developed and will continue to develop (the "System"). The distinguishing characteristics of the System include our Studio designs, layouts, and identification schemes (collectively, the "Trade Dress"); our specifications for equipment, inventory, accessories, and supplies; our website or series of websites for the Studios (the "System Website"); our relationships with vendors; our software and computer programs; our online booking system; our reservation procedures; the therapy programs or sessions (collectively, "Sessions") that you offer to customers; any Sessions that we have developed or may develop; the accumulated experience reflected in our operating procedures, customer service standards methods, and marketing techniques; and the mandatory and suggested policies, procedures, standards, specifications, rules, and requirements (collectively, the "System Standards") stated in our operations manuals (the "Manuals") and otherwise in writing. We may change, improve, add to, and further develop the elements of the System periodically.
You may purchase a Franchise to develop and operate one Studio at a mutually agreed upon site (the "Site") within an area ("Site Selection Area") that we will specify in the Franchise Agreement, which we and you will execute. Under the Franchise Agreement, you will have no obligation, nor any right, to open any additional Studios, nor will you have any right to (a) sublicense the Marks or the System to any other person or entity, (b) use the Marks or the System at any location other than the Site, or (c) use the Marks or the System in any wholesale, ecommerce, or other channel of distribution other than the operation of the Studio at the Site.
You must designate an Owner with at least a 10% ownership interest in your Entity as the "Operating Principal." The Operating Principal must have authority over all business decisions related to your Studio and must have the power to bind you in all dealings with us. In addition, you must appoint a manager to manage the day-to-day business of your Studio (the "Designated Manager"). Your Operating Principal may serve as your Designated Manager, unless we believe that he or she does not have sufficient experience or qualifications.
Studios are typically located in a metropolitan area or surrounding suburbs. Our standard prototype Studio is a one-story 1,300 to 1,800 square foot space.
Development Program. In addition, for qualified franchisees who desire the right to develop multiple Studios within a designated territory (the "Development Area") that meet certain conditions, we also offer the opportunity to enter into a Development Agreement with us (the "Development Agreement") to develop a specific number of Studios according to a predetermined, mandatory development schedule specified in the Development Agreement (the "Development Schedule"). Those franchisees may open and operate their Studios directly or through "Affiliated Entities," which are entities in which you own at least 51% of the direct ownership interests, that conduct no business other than the operation of one or more Studios, and that meet, and all of whose owners meet, our then-current criteria for franchisees and franchisee owners. Our current form of Development Agreement is included as Exhibit B to this Disclosure Document.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beem Light Sauna Franchise Disclosure Document, the company offers the opportunity to become a franchisee and develop and operate one or more Beem Light Sauna studios. These studios provide consumer-grade infrared, red light, and chromotherapy solutions, along with related services and products, in a private, spa-like setting. Beem Light Sauna studios operate under the brand's trademarks, service marks, trade names, signs, associated designs, artwork, and logos. The franchisor may also designate or change these marks at any time.
The Beem Light Sauna system includes studio designs, layouts, and identification schemes, specifications for equipment, inventory, accessories, and supplies, a system website, vendor relationships, software and computer programs, an online booking system, reservation procedures, therapy programs or sessions, and the franchisor's accumulated experience in operating procedures, customer service standards, methods, and marketing techniques. The system also includes mandatory and suggested policies, procedures, standards, specifications, rules, and requirements stated in the operations manuals. The franchisor may change, improve, add to, and further develop the elements of the system periodically.
Beem Light Sauna also offers a Development Agreement for qualified franchisees who want to develop multiple studios within a designated territory. Franchisees who sign a Development Agreement must also sign the current form of the Franchise Agreement for each studio they plan to develop. If a franchisee fails to open and operate the required number of studios in the Development Area, Beem Light Sauna has the right to terminate the Development Agreement, which would result in the franchisee losing development rights and forfeiting the unapplied balance of the development fee. However, the Franchise Agreement for any studios already opened will not be terminated solely due to the termination of the Development Agreement.
