Why own a Home Care Franchise vs. Starting Your Own

Wanting to be an entrepreneur and start your own business is a big step in your life. Knowing what business, you want to start is the first step. But do you want to franchise, or do you want to start off on your own? FranNet conducted a study showing that 92 percent of franchises were still in business after two years and 85 percent after the first five years. Compare to independent businesses 25 percent fail within their first year.

Franchises are notorious for having a higher success rate rather than start-ups for one key proponent: Business Model. Especially if you want to go into the home care franchise, having a time-tested business model backed behind you instead of investing so much money not knowing if it will work.

Let’s look at Homewatch Caregivers, they have over 40 years of industry experience with a true time-tested model that has since flourished.
