Beem Light Sauna is a membership-based studio franchise offering consumer-grade infrared, red light and chromotherapy services in a private, spa-like setting. A prospective owner can evaluate the studio experience alongside the site, equipment, staffing and membership-development work needed to operate it.
This overview uses Beem Franchisor LLC’s FDD issued May 15, 2026, as amended September 1, 2026. The disclosure describes the business and contractual obligations; it does not establish clinical benefits or guarantee customer demand.
The Brand and Studio Concept
Item 1 identifies Beem Franchisor LLC as the current franchisor, formed in December 2024 and taking over the brand’s franchise assets in January 2025. Its predecessor, Get Lit Concepts, LLC, was formed in April 2021 and franchised studios from March 2022 through January 2025.
The disclosed system combines designated saunas and light equipment with studio design standards, booking and reservation systems, approved sessions and retail products. For a buyer, these are specific features to compare with other wellness concepts rather than evidence of guaranteed treatment outcomes or unusually high returns.
Investment and Financial Planning
Item 7 estimates $436,196–$761,154 to begin operating one new studio, including a standard $65,000 franchise fee. The estimate assumes leased premises and financing the initial furniture, fixtures and equipment package through a lease-to-own or comparable arrangement.
The estimate does not include buying the real estate or purchasing the equipment package outright. Its rows include leasehold improvements, opening marketing, technology, initial kits and three months of additional funds. Review the full table and notes when building a budget for a particular location.
Applicant financial qualifications: The official beem ownership page from Sequel Brands, checked October 16, 2026, lists $700,000 minimum net worth and $200,000 liquid capital. These website-stated applicant qualifications are separate from the dated FDD investment estimate above. That page currently advertises a different investment range; the contractual cost discussion here continues to use the actual May 2026 FDD as amended September 2026, rather than treating the website figure as a replacement disclosure.
Financial capacity should also be considered alongside the opening timetable and ongoing operating costs. Membership sales do not remove the need to plan for staffing, rent, marketing, equipment and periods when customer activity falls below expectations.
Site Development and Opening
Item 11 provides for a designated construction and real estate management vendor to assist with site selection, lease support, design coordination and build-out. The owner remains responsible for selecting a suitable site, and the franchisor must approve the location and relevant agreements.
Prototype plans must be adapted by the owner’s professionals for the actual site. Contractors and plans require approval, and opening depends on satisfying construction, occupancy, employee-training and presale conditions. This is a development process with owner responsibilities, not a ready-to-operate business delivered without further work.
Training for Required Personnel
The disclosed initial program combines three in-person days, two virtual days and two days at the studio. Its training table lists 45 classroom hours and ten on-the-job hours, covering ownership, operations, sales, marketing, technology and customer relationship systems.
Initial instructors, facilities and materials for required trainees are included in the franchise fee when the trainees attend the same session. Trainee travel, living expenses and wages remain the franchisee’s responsibility. Replacement, repeat or remedial training can carry additional fees.
The franchisor can require up to five days of refresher or advanced training each year. Owners should distinguish that continuing education from the separate responsibility to recruit, train and supervise the people working in the studio.
Ongoing Support and Marketing
Item 11 describes advertising review, Brand Fund management and additional operational consultation upon reasonable request, subject to personnel availability. In-person consulting outside the franchisor’s offices can involve fees and expenses.
The studio uses required systems and approved programs, with manuals and standards governing operations. Discuss how the support is delivered, which expenses the owner pays and how local membership-development responsibilities fit the proposed staffing plan.
Owner and Manager Responsibilities
Item 15 requires the studio to be personally supervised on the premises by a required trainee whenever it is open. The Operating Principal must hold at least a 10% ownership interest in the franchise entity and have authority over studio business decisions.
A Designated Manager manages day-to-day operations and may also be the Operating Principal. Appointment and replacement requirements apply. Buyers should evaluate these specific roles rather than assuming the studio is a passive investment or that a manager removes all owner obligations.
Assessing the Local Opportunity
Study the proposed site’s customer base, competing services, access and pricing. Ask current and former franchise owners about membership development, staffing, equipment upkeep and the assistance they actually use. A broad wellness-industry forecast does not establish a specific studio’s sales or profitability.
Beem may appeal to someone interested in managing a membership-based wellness studio with defined equipment and service standards. Review the current disclosure, contracts and local operating plan together before deciding whether the investment fits your goals.
