Hottest Home Service Small Business Franchises

Written by: Candice Clem

Article Overview: The biggest investment ever made by the average american is the purchase of a home, so there is a great deal of business to be had when it comes to servicing those homes and keeping the value up on those large investments. Here are a couple great franchises available in the home service industry.

Hottest Home Service Small Business Franchises

The largest investment the average person will ever make is the purchase of their home, so it only makes sense that the home is one of the most precious possessions that any American has and is something that they are willing to continue investing money in. For that reason, home service businesses can often be some of the most profitable business opportunities available. If getting into an industry that serves people right where they live and provides you with a steady stream of clientele and income is appealing to you, then check out the following list of franchises that do precisely that.

Rotobrush

One business market gaining ground at a surprising rate is the air-duct cleaning industry. Businesses that do this kind of work are seeing exceptional growth as homeowners become more and more aware of the effects that airborne debris from their ductwork can have on human health. Rotobrush is one of the work at home businesses that is profiting from this new awareness, particularly with their specialized i²CAM, a tool that allows franchisees to show clients what lurks in their ducts. With that in mind, clients are more than willing to pay to get their ducts cleaned regularly. If a franchisee can secure at least 2 clients per week, that alone translates to $25,000-$75,000 in annual revenue.

Mr. Appliance

When thinking about home service businesses it’s important to think not only about the building, but what’s inside it, like the appliances. Mr. Appliance is a home based business that does precisely that, providing repair services for home appliances of all sorts. So far, the idea has proven to be successful, resulting in 116 franchise locations and growing. It all begins with a first-class attitude toward education, something that carries on from the first week of classroom training through the rest of the franchisee’s time with the business. The franchisor takes pride in ensuring that he continues to address every question and need on an ongoing basis, which is good news for the franchisee.

CTi-Concrete Technology

Though many people may not think often about what they’re walking on when they take a stroll across a nice bathroom floor or a walkway in the backyard, concrete is an addition that can add real beauty to a home. The average person, though, is not going take it on as a personal project because concrete is very hard to do right, which is why companies like CTi-Concrete Technology exist. The great thing about this concrete restoration small business is that franchisees need not have previous concrete experience to be successful; they need only to be driven to succeed and eager to learn. Even after initial training, 24-hour support allows franchisees the freedom to take on jobs and simply call for help when they run into a speed bump they’ve never encountered.

N-Hance

One thing that can quickly change the appearance and atmosphere of a home is the quality of the wood floors and cabinets. Knowing this, many businesses have gotten into the work of wood restoration, but few can compete with N-Hance. The key to their exceptional performance in the industry is their work method, which is capable of drastically reducing the time it takes to refinish a home’s wood, thereby reducing the headache that the work causes the client. But the N-Hance model makes life simpler for the franchisee as well, by providing a completely turnkey business. And even if a franchisee has trouble paying the low initial investment cost, financing options are made available to help anyone get off the ground.

Fresh Coat Painters

Everyone appreciates a new coat of paint in their living room but everyone also knows what a headache painting is, so very few people these days want to do it themselves, and that is why the professional painting industry exists. With Fresh Coat Painters’ proven strategy, you can quickly climb the ladder of local painting businesses and become the #1 name in your area. What this business for sale is looking for in a franchisee is not a painter, but a business owner to oversee a functional, successful, and ever growing operation.

Fish Window Cleaning

Any home service business is a profitable opportunity, but few can offer the steady business that window cleaning does, because regardless of how clean you get them, next week or next month the windows will need to be cleaned again, and since they’ve been in the business for 30 years, Fish Window Cleaning is an experienced window-cleaning work from home business you can trust. With their solid system, you’ll learn how to run a business, market your services, build a client base, hire staff and train them, and be positioned for continuous expansion without having to take high rise jobs. Studies say that only 25% of independent window washers make it 5 years in the business, which is not an impressive number. However, 92% of franchisees running strong through the 5-year marker is an impressive number. If you want to be part of this highly stable industry, Fish Window Cleaning is the way to go.

Aside from the high demand for home service businesses that keeps business flowing, one of the great perks of becoming a part of any of these businesses is knowing that you’re providing a service that allows people more time to enjoy their families instead of doing work around their homes. If that kind of satisfaction is appealing, look into this market further and you won’t be let down.

Re: Service Or Product? - I agree with starting a Service-based Business in the economy. Here is what I think is critical: 1. Researching that your Service business has a market. 2. Marketing the Service with as much leverage as possible. 3. Product-izing the Service (aka Package Expert Knowledge). This will only help elevate you as "the" expert in your niche and make you accessible to people in different price points.
