5 Handyman Franchise Factors to Consider Before Investing

Not all handyman franchises are the same. Consider these 5 traits in a franchise to ensure you’re making the best investment.

ALWAYS IN DEMAND

The services a trusted “Mr. Fix-it” provide are worth their weight in gold for homeowners from all walks of life. Companies that build their business around establishing and maintaining ongoing relationships with their customers will see the fruits of their labor through both long-term profits and customer satisfaction.

Many homeowners lack the time or know-how required to perform electrical work, drywall repair, plumbing fixes, window covering installation, and other necessary maintenance tasks around the house. Like many other segments of the home services franchise industry, the growth of handyman franchises is a result of the renewed health of the US housing market, the rising disposable income of homeowners in America, and the evergreen necessity for home maintenance and improvement.

IBISWorld estimates that the US handyman franchise market is currently valued at $4.4 billion, even accounting for some growth during a year which proved prohibitively challenging for other industries.

Handyman franchises have benefited from homeowners seeing increased maintenance and improvement needs as they have been spending more time at home. Tax credits offered to homeowners have encouraged them to invest in energy-efficient home improvements and adding to the property value and curb appeal of their homes further incentivizes outsourcing to trusted handyman franchises.

COSTS & THE FINE PRINT

Initial investments for handyman franchises can range upwards of $150,000 and should cover the necessary expenses such as the initial franchise fee, training, tools and equipment, insurance and licensing, and advertising materials.

Total costs and other relevant financial information, to help prospective franchisees make an informed investment decision, can be found in the franchisor’s Financial Disclosure Document (FDD), a 23-item tome that details the costs and earning potential of a particular brand.

Not all franchises are created equal, and for those investors in the market for a handyman franchise, there is a more focused, dynamic brand opportunity with Budget Blinds.

THE RIGHT TRAINING & SUPPORT

The right handyman franchise will not require you to have any previous technical experience but will train you thoroughly in the trade. Many franchisors in the handyman industry take care of marketing, sales, and office requirements of the business along with the management of a team of laborers who will complete jobs for customers, so that franchise owners can effectively oversee the entire operation.

While many tools of the trade are similar, there is a better option to a handyman franchise with Budget Blinds, a proven leader in the home services industry.
