Home-service franchises are all-stars for recession resistance and flexibility by The Franchise Dictionary Magazine Team

o matter the economic climate, home services are always in demand. While some brands work to beautify homes, others provide necessary—and even emergency—services. If you're a homeowner, you probably know how impossible it can seem just to get a contractor to show up at your house. Even getting one to return your calls can be a struggle. Franchising is changing all that and professionalizing the industry by having systems in place—and taking administrative tasks off of businessowners’ plates—so they can focus on the job at hand. Translation: happy customers. Most of these businesses offer low cost of entry and quick startups. They can be scaled easily and many can be run from home. Sound good? On the following pages, we look at several all-star brands that are making life easier for homeowners and creating opportunities for investors. You might never have considered a home-service franchise, but when you examine their merits, you’ll agree that most of them knock it out of the park.
