Home Based Franchise Options

During the past year, we learned that working from home is a viable option for many Americans. As businesses shut their physical doors and operated their businesses remotely, “Home-Based” became the new norm.

What happens if you get bit by the entrepreneurial bug, but want to continue working from the comfort of your home?

That is easy! Just look at one of the many home-based franchise opportunities available to those who want to become business owners.

Compared to starting a business from scratch, a franchised business affords many advantages:

? A known brand

? Marketing support

? A proven process

? Training and ongoing support

? And much more!

Combine those advantages with the ability to work from home, and you have a winner!

But what type of franchises are home-based?

Just like traditional opportunities, home-based franchise options are plentiful. Chances are you can find one that is a perfect fit for you. Here are just a few of the industries that you can choose from.

Home Maintenance and Repair

Every homeowner needs help caring for their abode. Everything from minor repairs to lawn care, the list is almost endless. And the good news is that there are franchise opportunities for almost all those needs.

There are many options when it comes to carpet and furniture cleaning, painting, and maid services. Need blinds for the windows? There is a franchise option. How about lawn care or pest and mosquito control? Check.
