What to Expect with A Home-Based Franchise

Home-Based Franchise

For many, operating a home-based franchise is a great step into working for yourself and learning how to run a small business.

But it doesn’t mean that the work will be easy. 

The truth is you will need to dedicate time and energy into getting your franchise off the ground as the points below highlight. 

You will need a space to operate from

Home-based franchises are just that – they are a business that you can operate out of your home, and as such, require you to have an adequate home office setup. At a very minimum you will need a space where you can focus without distraction, a computer and smartphone. 

Additional items such as a desk and ergonomic chair will allow you to distinguish between your work and home life. You may also find it’s easier to get work done if you’re not trying to operate a franchise from your kitchen table or couch. But of course, it’s totally up to you! 

You will need to create boundaries

Leading from the point above is the need to create boundaries. While it can be very tempting to merge your home and work life, most franchisees report better work/life balance when they implement clear boundaries to their workday. This may include only working in your home office or setting ‘office’ hours and ‘family’ time. 

You will need to dedicate time 

Many franchisees are under the impression that operating a franchise is a quick and easy process. This can be the case once your franchise is up and running, after all you have end-to-end business systems to follow and a wealth of support. 

But it is important to remember that your earning potential is linked directly to how much you work and the energy you’re willing to put into your business. This can mean working longer hours to grow your business in the beginning or being content with a smaller earning potential and reduced working hours.

You will need to network 

As a franchise owner you are going to want to be known within your local community as your potential client base lives here. This means getting out of your home and meeting potential clients in as many ways as possible. 

Franchisees are provided with growth strategies and a well-known brand name but finding a client base comes down to your willingness to network and get yourself out there! 

You will enjoy many perks 

While it’s important that we outline the work involved in running a franchise, we also want to stress that the experience is second to none. 

Franchises’ have higher success rates than starting your own business and they are a great way to break into a new industry or start a rewarding career as your own boss. 

If you’re sitting there nodding along and think you have what it takes to give the role your all, you may be the exact person that we’re looking for.
