Are you interested in starting a business and being your own boss? Are you considering the franchise model for that new business? If so, one of your first questions is likely, “Which is the best franchise to own?” If you are passionate about caregiving, there are many reasons why a Visiting Angels^® franchise is right for you.

The Best Franchise to Own Now and in a Recession

No industry is totally bulletproof in a recession, but many franchisees still do well in harder times; some even thrive.

In the health and senior service industries specifically, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that “the demand for in-home health aides and personal health aides is expected to grow by 70 percent because of the aging baby-boomer generation.” The high demand for these services will continue our industry’s upward trend as the US population ages and the desire to age in place continues to drive care decisions. This bodes well for the home care industry in general and for Visiting Angels franchisees in particular.

Corporate Support from Visiting Angels

Corporate support for franchisees should play a significant role in which franchise brand you choose to invest. Part of the benefit of purchasing a franchise is that you don’t have to do it alone. You’ll be backed by a national network of professionals who can help you get started and stay successful.

As a company, we continue to shine in this category. When we say we “care about caring,” that philosophy is extended to our franchisees as well as our clients. Everyone succeeds when our franchisees succeed.

Our Leadership and Operations Field Support Teams are approachable and available to the franchisees. Without that consistent flow of information and guidance, we wouldn’t have the trust of our franchisees. That trust is the fuel that makes our network stronger and keeps our franchisees happy.

Accolades for Visiting Angels
