It is time to make a decision about owning your own business and join a growing home- or auto-services franchise.

Last year, we saw home-services and auto-franchise brands grow. People are still – two years later – working from home, seeing improvements they want made (or deferred maintenance that should be completed) sooner than later.

It is time you made the decision to go out, start up your own business, selecting the right brand for you. Choosing the right franchise system will give you the support of an established brand, a proven process that will make startup easier and faster, along with a team that is ready to guide you on your way.

New franchise owners are joining service-based brands, working from a home-based office, and establishing their client base right where they live, providing:

  • Less commute, more family time.
  • Less stress from a boss, more independence to make their own decisions.
  • Less dreaming of tomorrow, more focusing on building the dream.

The home- and auto-services industries continue to evolve in new ways. There is a surge and growing popularity of electric vehicles and concierge-level maintenance services (think tire and oil changes) delivered right to the customer. There are car, truck, and Jeep owners investing in customizing their vehicles with after-market products that they don’t know how to install but are ready and willing to pay someone else to do it for them.

Homes are getting more wear and tear than ever, needing A/C and plumbing maintenance, as well as the day-to-day fixes that a local handyman craftsman can do. Work-from-home professionals are making lists of upgrades, including interior painting, deck, and kitchen remodels for this spring and summer.

We all know that it’s been a bit of a roller-coaster of not knowing what to expect, but the franchising industry is already seeing more new franchise ownership startups this year, and you have been thinking about it for far too long.

It is time. Read through this magazine. Contact the franchise brands you think make the most sense to you. Start your journey to owning your own business. Get off the fence. You don’t have to wait any longer. You are ready.
