Homebased and Mobile Franchise Keeps StartUp Costs Low



Homebased and Mobile Franchise Keeps StartUp Costs Low
   

Are you thinking about starting a franchise that is home-based? But are you unsure, because you aren't sure you'd like to be home all day? Then there’s a category of franchise business that is tailor-made for you. And that category is home-based mobile franchises. These are franchise businesses where the office is located at home, but you go out in custom-fitted vans to serve your clients. These franchises provide the best franchise business for sale offers; most of them are low cost franchises and have low overhead charges as well. The automobile that you will need for your business can be bought custom-fitted from your franchisor or you can give them one, which they will redesign for you. The van itself becomes a great marketing tool. With the name of the franchisor proudly written on the sides, you have a mobile display unit whenever you take your van out!

That is why more and more people are starting a franchise of this category. If you are also interested, then there are many sub-categories to further pinpoint your area of interest. Below are some categories with one or two examples of franchise concepts from each of the category:

Automobile: There are quite a few automobile franchise opportunities that are home-based. One emerging concept among them is SparkleWash. This company has taken car cleaning to a new level by cleaning the car where it is located! People love the concept, as they don’t have to travel to a car wash and wait there while their car is being washed. The burgeoning service demand has increased the number of people wishing to buy a franchise from the company. Another lucrative opportunity from this category is MATCO. The franchisees of the company use the custom-fitted trucks to deliver nationally-branded products to their clients whenever needed.

Pet Care: The pet care industry is poised to become a market leader in the franchise business. Among the different services that are offered in the category, most popular are the mobile pet-wash services. These franchise opportunities are just loved by the franchisees and the customers alike. The former likes this franchise segment because it is low cost and home-based while the latter love it because they don’t have to take their beloved pooch away from their home for a wash! Try Hydro Groom Mobile Pet Wash or Aussie Pet Mobile from this field.

Maid and Cleaning Services: Another field that is rapidly gaining fame as a reliable category for starting a franchise business. The vans used double up as great marketing tool, as they become highly visible when parked in the front of the house that is being cleaned! If interested, seek out ServiceMaster Clean or The Maids among many others.

Handyman Services: Handymen are best friend to many harried homeowners nowadays. They are called for fixing minor defects to even changing out-of-reach bulbs! With low overhead charges and a very economical start-up cost, they are the first choice of many who wish to buy a franchise. Some examples of franchise concepts from this group include Handyman Pro and Mr. Handyman.
