Bee Organized Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate (2026 FDD)
Bee Organized is one of the franchises we compare in our home organizing and downsizing help guide. Here is what it costs to open, what it charges every month, what its franchisees report taking in, and how many outlets closed in a year.
Where these numbers come from
The figures come from Bee Organized's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the document every franchisor must give buyers before they sign. Revenue figures are sales as the brand reports them, before royalties and costs. They are not profit, and not a promise of what you would earn.
