Mr. Handyman Franchise Model Overview

Mr. Handyman franchises provide repair, maintenance and small improvement work for homeowners and businesses: jobs too small for a contractor and too much for a homeowner. Work is done by employed technicians dispatched from a small office or home base in branded vans. The investment is low six figures with no storefront; most of the cash goes to the franchise and territory fee, two outfitted vans and three months of working capital for payroll and marketing. The owner's job is recruiting and keeping skilled technicians, managing a customer service coordinator, and spending heavily on local marketing, which carries a required minimum. Royalties are charged on gross sales, with minimum fees and performance standards. The brand belongs to Neighborly, which runs a large family of home-service franchises, and the system has grown steadily and is entirely franchised. Resale buyers pay a transfer fee based on the purchase price instead of an initial fee.

Ideal owner profile

Manager or business owner who will run the office, sales and team rather than do field work
Able to recruit, schedule and retain skilled tradespeople in a tight labor market
Comfortable funding a large, mandatory local marketing budget in the first two years
Low-six-figure capital plus working funds for vans, payroll and ramp-up
Customer-service mindset suited to repeat residential and property-manager clients
