Evaluation Criteria: Best Home Based Franchises
Growth Prospect
As we evaluate and rank the absolute best home based franchises we focus on franchises which have a long history of successfully starting and operating businesses which succeed in growing. It is important for entrepreneurs to know that the franchise they are operating under can succeed over time and will be a worthwhile investment as a product of hard work and a thought-out business strategy by the franchisor.
Marketing Support
Many businesses which operate primarily out of the homes of the owners are often at a disadvantage compared to businesses with a physical location and presence. As a result, it is important for home based franchises to provide their entrepreneurs with an advertising and marketing presence. It is important for the franchises to provide ways for their clients to find those offering the services under their franchise.
Training
It is crucial for home based franchises to offer their franchise operators training and resources for learning how to better offer the services they provide. Franchises are often built by their reputation within their respective industries, therefore it is important for the franchise to offer their operators effective means for training and education to ensure the consistent quality of the services they offer.
Ongoing Support
We also take into consideration how much communication and support the franchisors have with their franchisees in terms of ensuring they are continuing to offer quality services to their customers. It is also important for franchisors to answer questions from their franchisees and to ensure that their concerns are being taken care of. We highlight the franchises which understand how to stay connected with their franchisees.
Value
One of the greatest assets of a franchise is the value of the brand and the reputation which they have achieved within their industry. It is important for potential customers to obtain a sense of trust in the products and services being provided by the franchise. We investigate the overall value of various branding and reputation aspects of the top performing franchises which focus on enabling home based businesses.
