Have You Considered the Canadian Home Services and Mobile Franchise Sector Lately?
Given how busy everyone is these days, mobile franchises and home services in Canada get to offer something to customers that many other business cannot: more time.
People who value their time and can afford it are more than happy to pay someone else to handle those run-of-the-mill chores that everyone has. As reported by Lexpert, (http://www.lexpert.ca), the mobile franchise and home services section of the Canadian franchise industry has seen the most growth over the last few years. If you haven't looked into a mobile or home service franchise yet, now is certainly the time. Here's what you should know.
Mobile or home service franchise in a nutshell
In the simplest terms, home services are just about anything you'd see on a household chore list. Franchises in this area include pool, carpet and house cleaning, junk removal, home repairs, pet services, computer services and care at home for seniors. It is important to note that these franchises are often associated with houses, so they can be impacted by the real estate market.
A mobile franchise is simply a business that provides a service while being totally portable. These franchises often have some overlap with home services.
There's a lot of variety
If you're looking for something familiar or something new, chances are you'll find a mobile or home service franchise brand that fits the bill in Canada. You'll find everything from your typical services, such as home inspections and vending machines, to more niche services like screen repair, specialty material restoration and themed snacks.
When you're considering a home service or mobile franchise, look for one that ticks all your boxes, from lifestyle and profit goals to the service or product being offered. You'll want to be completely on board with whatever franchise you choose so you have the best chances at success.
Look at differentiation
Even if a particular service you want to provide already exists in your target area, you may be able to find a franchise that puts enough of a spin on it to succeed. Consider how the franchises you're looking at stack up against other similar businesses already operating in the area before making your final decision.
A mobile or home service franchise is often an appealing choice because the entry investment tends to be lower for these franchise types and they offer more flexibility. However, keep in mind that you still need to do your homework when it comes to these types of franchises, no matter how much the initial fee is.
