“As we celebrate 40 years of producing the Franchise 500, it’s a good opportunity to step back and look at how much has changed since that first ranking in 1980,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “While the franchise business model has changed little, the strongest franchise brands are constantly evolving and innovating to keep up with changing trends and technology.”

Franchise Business Review ranks FirstLight No. 30 out of Top 200 franchise opportunities based on survey of owner satisfaction and performance

CINCINNATI — FirstLight Home Care, a leading national provider of non-medical home care, has been named by Franchise Business Review as a top franchise opportunity for 2019 based on franchisee satisfaction and performance, ranking No. 30 on the list of 200.

More than 30,000 franchise owners were surveyed, representing 310 franchise brands, to determine the best franchises of 2019. Franchise Business Review’s top franchise list is based on franchise owner answers to questions that focused on areas such as the home office’s leadership, training, core values and also the owner’s business lifestyle and how much they enjoyed running their franchise.

“Making this list is very satisfying because it’s based on surveys of owners and shows how happy they are to be a part of the FirstLight family,” said Jeff Bevis, co-founder and CEO of FirstLight Home Care. “We feel that the key to our continued growth is to serve our home care clients exceptionally well and to do everything in our power to make our owners successful. We take the team concept very seriously and a ranking like this proves that our approach is working.”

FirstLight serves seniors, adults with disabilities, new mothers, veterans, those recovering from surgery and other adults in need of assistance. The company’s caregivers help with many needs – from personal hygiene and household duties such as cooking, cleaning and running errands to mobility assistance and dementia care.

The news comes on the heels of FirstLight being named for the second straight year to the Franchise Times Fast & Serious list. That annual ranking is based on growth, and FirstLight reported 20.1 percent sales growth in 2018.

In recent months, the company has also made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held companies, the Franchise Times Top 200+ of the 500 largest franchise companies and Franchise Business Review’s Top 100 Franchises for Innovation and Top Franchises for Veterans lists.
