The owner's real job
In many home services models the owner runs sales, scheduling and hiring. Some agreements require full-time owner involvement; others allow a manager. We show you the exact disclosed conditions.
Handyman & home services
Looking at handyman franchises?
Most handyman franchises are about hiring technicians and running a service business — not doing the repairs yourself. We help you compare brands on what they disclose.

Territory questions to ask
A franchisor listing a state doesn't mean a territory is open. We help you get a dated confirmation directly from the franchisor.
Common questions
Do I need trade skills?
Often not, but it depends on the brand. We'll show you what each franchisor says about owner background and training.
How we're paid
Our consulting is free to buyers. If you open a franchise we introduced you to, the franchisor may pay FranRelay a placement fee. We tell you before an introduction whether that applies.
