Why Choose Franchising? Key Advantages Explained

Why Start a Franchise?

As a prospective business owner, you may wonder if you should start your own independent business or buy into a franchise system. Owning a franchise gives you the structure to follow, resources to utilize and the support to depend on as you build your company in your local community.

Running a franchise is similar to owning your own small business. However, a franchise, like a home care franchise has many advantages over small-business ownership. Franchise owners have the independence of owning a business and are able to give back to their community in a meaningful way.

Learn the differences between franchising and owning a business, and how franchising can help you create a meaningful career.

Advantages of Owning a Franchise

Franchising offers many advantages for entrepreneurs looking to start their own business. Franchising gives you access to a national support team that’s designed to help support your local business launch and grow efficiently.

Franchising is becoming a popular way for business owners to join the home care industry. With the demand for senior care services is quickly increasing, home care franchise owners are in a unique position to grow their business to meet the demand.

If you’re wondering why you should open a franchise, consider these benefits:

HomeWell is a well-recognized name all around the country, and when you set up one of our franchises in your community, people will know what services you’re offering and the care the brand provides. The name recognition will encourage local residents to trust you and help you find clients who need compassionate home care to help them live long and healthy lives at home.

While new businesses and franchises have startup costs, the upfront costs of a franchise are predictable and consistent, so you can plan your finances. Some of the franchising out-of-pocket costs you can expect include:

The franchise fee paid to the franchisor to own and operate your franchise.
Supplies and equipment to support your company, from office supplies to branded items.
Real estate and property to have a physical office for your clients to visit.
Training to learn about the industry and how to do various jobs.
Marketing and advertising to establish and grow your business in your community.
Insurance costs to protect your building, assets, workers and more.

HomeWell will provide you with information about how much you can expect to spend as you start your home care franchise.

Owning a franchise gives you the freedom to work your way. You make your own schedule and decide what kind of manager you want to be. The difference in working with a franchise is that you still have support to help you grow your business.

By opening a home care franchise through HomeWell, you’ll have access to our ongoing support with all the knowledge you need to launch and operate a franchise.

Owning a Franchise vs. Starting Your Own Business

More and more business owners are choosing to franchise so they can create a lasting impact on their community with the support of an established franchisor. When you own a HomeWell franchise, your dedicated business coach will help you by providing training for every stage of the business. By taking advantage of our opportunities and resources, our network’s members have accomplished countless personal and professional goals.

When you become a HomeWell franchise owner, you can enjoy:

Essential services: As the number of older adults entering retirement increases, the home care industry is expected to grow as an essential business to serve this demographic.

Community involvement: Home care prioritizes the health and safety of older adults and other people in your community. Our franchise owners are involved in their communities to serve as a local and caring source of support.

A fulfilling career: Home care is a rewarding career — your HomeWell franchise allows people to get compassionate care in their home or an assisted or independent living facility.

Josh Frommer HomeWell Franchisee in Anchorage, Alaska

The biggest factor for us in choosing to do a franchise instead of launching a business on our own was really the wealth of knowledge HomeWell provides. We could have gone the route of figuring everything out on our own, but we decided that the training, support, and knowledge the HomeWell team provides was worth the investment.
