Mobile Franchise Businesses are on the Rise. Here’s What You Need to Know.
The service industry continues to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the country as Americans look for new services to help them manage their busy lives. Franchise systems hoping to fill those service needs, while keeping start-up costs low and rapid returns high for franchise candidates, are turning to mobile franchising as a solution.
Unlike traditional brick and mortar franchises, mobile franchises operate out of a vehicle. They have lower start-up costs, shorter launch times and can see excellent margins due to their low overhead.
Plus, mobile franchises offer an extra convenience for the consumer because they drive to the customer's home or business for service, not the other way around. They allow customers to stay home and let the work come to them, saving them time and effort.
So who is right for a mobile franchise? Mobile franchises appeal to lots of people, including:
People without a lot of start-up capital. Because they don’t require real estate, mobile franchises are much less to launch than traditional businesses requiring office space.
People who enjoy being on the go. Unlike a home-based business where you may spend all day sitting on the phone, mobile franchises are constantly moving from place to place to generate business.
People who want to start making money now. Mobile franchises have high margins because they are service based and don’t require a lot of overhead to run.
People who want to grow a franchise empire. Mobile businesses are scalable, so franchise owners can purchase large territories and operate multiple units without adding a lot of time and expense.
Mobile franchising has become so popular that there are now hundreds of models featuring all types of services, including:
- Home repair
- Furniture repair
- Cleaning services
- Vehicle repair
- Quick service restaurants
- Lawn service
- Junk hauling
- Dog grooming

- So many more!
