Do you want to open your own business, but you just don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you’re looking to change career paths?

Franchising with an already trusted company name is a very convenient and common way to commence your own business.

Home Service Professionals is a home cleaning service company in Adelaide, that offers franchise opportunities. Here are some benefits of franchising with a well-known cleaning company.

Being your Own Boss

Home Service Professionals’ Franchisee of the Year winners, Devinda and Chamari Ranatunga, sum up their opportunities with the company perfectly.

"I wanted to do something for myself without working for someone else" - says Devinda.

Most people choose to start a business to be their own boss. The freedom and autonomy involved are often what attracts people to any form of self-employment. It’s a no-brainer that working for yourself has its advantages. However, some people find themselves concerned that they don’t know where to begin. Franchising eliminates this concern by providing full support to franchisees. It allows you to go into business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Guaranteed Stream of Work

When choosing what company to franchise with, it’s important to consider realistic job opportunities that will guarantee a steady stream of work.

Home cleaning services are in high demand due to their very large target demographics and the nature of a busy, working society who don’t have time to clean themselves. In other words, HSP encourages franchises to open in almost all suburbs and areas, to ensure brand visibility and have access to a range of customers.

According to Devinda, managers, Andrew and Tammi keep a sharp eye on the number of jobs each franchisee takes on and can offer them more work if needed.

Earn your Keep

Often, franchisees operate on the basis of working for what you earn. In other words, the more work you put into your business, the more return you’ll gain from it. Home Service Professionals allows its franchisees to make as much money as they want, depending on the hard work and hours they put into their jobs. Additionally, HSP prides its franchise opportunities on being low-risk investments, and according to Devinda and Chamari, it’s not impossible to double your expected profits within the first year, although it does take dedication.

"I’ve found that it’s better if you work hard…You have to like what you’re doing. Then it’s worthwhile" -  says Devinda.

Full Support

While starting your own business can be quite daunting, opening a franchise takes away the administrative work. Franchisors will have already established a business model, plan, and way of acquiring equipment and supplies. It’s an ideal way to ease into self-employment.

Devinda boasts about the support he and Chamari receive from HSP management, who are constantly in contact with them to ensure that they on track. Not only do franchisees have support from management, but also from other franchisees, who understand what it takes to run the same business.

"They are all like a family" - says Devinda, "the HSP work culture is really good."
