A Franchise Opportunity You Can Feel Good About

Owning a business offers freedom from mundane workdays and provides financial security. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur looking for a solo opportunity that also offers the support needed for success, why not consider a franchise? Specifically, consider in-home care franchising. Unlike other franchises, a senior care franchise has lower startup cost.

A fast food business might require $500,000 or more to get up and running, but you can get your own senior home care business going for a little as $150,000, and that is a big difference! What's more, a senior care franchise will offer security for your family now, and can continue as a family-owned business for years.

 Why a Senior Home Care is a Great Business Opportunity

It is no secret that people are living longer. Medical advances have made it possible for individuals to live longer beyond the conditions that shortened lifespans in years past. Many seniors want to live independently for as long as possible. They don't want to live in long-term care facilities, nor do they want to live with family members. As a non medical home care franchise owner, your staff will most likely provide help for seniors such as basic housekeeping, assistance with getting to medical appointments, meal preparation and taking medications as prescribed. This is what makes a senior care business so rewarding--it is a win-win for the business owner as well as the senior clients who use the service.

What Kind of Support Can a Senior Care Franchisee Expect?

Franchisees are part of a larger network that has the strength in numbers to get things done. Being a part of a franchise means that you will have name recognition. Name recognition brings connections to professionals such as attorneys and insurance companies. It also means that there are people lobbying for you to make sure government regulation and other "red tape" does not strangle your ability to do business. As a franchisee, you can expect to learn how to:

• Set up and run a professional organization.
• Market your services
• Hire the best staff
• Build partnerships with community organizations
• Work with clients and families to assess needs and develop a plan of service.

Owning a franchise that provides care for seniors is worth exploring. Not only is it a great business opportunity for you, but also, it will contribute to your community by providing jobs for others--and most importantly, you will provide care for those who need it most.
