Franchising Qualifications Questions
What do you look for in potential franchisees?
Financial dependability, strong leadership potential, outstanding work ethic, and excellent communication skills are all qualities we look for in potential franchise owners.
Do I need to have prior experience in home services and repairs?
There is no need for prior industry experience, as our training will get you up to speed on everything you must know before opening. Depending on which of our nine home service brands you choose, you may not be the one completing the home service itself. For example, our House Doctor franchise owners never swing a hammer, and serve purely as businesspeople connecting property owners with quality contractors and handymen.
Franchise Location Questions
How do franchise territories work?
Each franchise owner receives a territory with a specific population or number of homes, depending on the franchise brand chosen. This territory is usually delineated by zip codes and surrounds the owner’s home address.
Do I have to have an office location to become a franchise owner?
You will need an office space, but it can be within your home. Each Premium Service Brands franchise owner has the option to either work from a home office or get a separate office location approved by us prior to opening.
