Become a Franchise Owner

As the owner of a Handyman Connection franchise, you will be expected to be actively involved in the operation of your business. You will not be performing handyman work yourself; you will engage local craftsmen to complete the work for your customers. Your primary areas of responsibility in this franchise business opportunity include:

• Recruit, Hire and Retain Craftsmen
• Customer Engagement and Service
• Financial Management
• Job Scheduling and Coordination
• Be a Hands-on, Engaged Owner

Franchisee Characteristics

Many of our franchisees come out of middle to senior management positions in corporate America, sales professionals and business owners. We don’t expect our franchisees to have all of the skills and characteristics of successful franchisees when they come on board. However, we do look for franchisees to have the ability, energy, and work ethic to learn new skills and the personality to want to execute the skills that we support. These include the development of business plans and effectively marketing & selling Handyman Connection services in their markets.

In addition, franchisees must be able to quickly identify and close job opportunities and efficiently manage the completion of those jobs. Franchisees must possess the qualities of an entrepreneur, be willing to work long hours, and assume the personal responsibility for the success of the business. Handyman Connection franchisees thrive on being in charge of a business and must be able to staff and lead people. Franchisees also must have the financial acumen to handle the accounting duties of their company and the organizational skills to ensure that operations run smoothly.

While their backgrounds vary, there are some common and consistent traits we see in franchisees that have successfully taken on our franchise business opportunity:

• Organized
• Assertive
• Service oriented
• Self motivated
• Outgoing and persuasive
