At Senior Helpers®, we believe that entrepreneurs who are driven by both their head and their heart shouldn’t have to choose between their passion and profitability. In fact, one of the many qualities that makes our senior care franchise option so appealing is that it offers outstanding earnings potential in addition to the opportunity to do work that helps others.
While the possibility of generating significant income shouldn’t be the only reason you consider purchasing an in home care franchise, profitability should definitely play a role in your decision-making process. The good news is that senior care franchise brands, like Senior Helpers, are often considered to be a leader in the world of franchising when it comes to earnings potential. In fact, these franchises represent one of the fastest growing industries in the nation, with Senior Helpers among Entrepreneur’s top choices in this category.
Projecting the Profitability of Your In Home Care Franchise
You may be excited to hear that many Senior Helpers franchise locations earn over a million dollars on an annual basis. Last year, our average franchise location in business for 5+ years brought in more than $1.2 million in gross annual revenue.
Of course, the simple act of purchasing a franchise won’t lead to profits overnight. The profitability of our franchises varies depending on a wide range of factors, including the market demand within a specific territory, efficiency of operations, competition from other care agencies, and the franchisee’s dedication to following our business model.
Curious about what it takes to start earning a profit as a Senior Helpers franchisee? Below, we’re outlining a roadmap to profitability with our in home care franchise.
The Initial Investment
One of the main figures that will go into your calculations for the potential profitability of an in home care franchise is the amount required to purchase the franchise in the first place, which is referred to as the initial investment. Details about the upfront costs associated with a Senior Helpers franchise purchase and the total initial investment can be found in Item 5 and 7 of our Franchise Disclosure Document for 2023. Overall, new franchisees can expect to invest between $127,800 and $171,800 per franchise territory. To put this amount into perspective, it represents one of the lowest initial investments among all in home care franchise brands.
Building a Client Base for Profitability
In any business model, one of the biggest hurdles to profitability is the time required to build a client base big enough to generate significant revenue. With Senior Helpers, you can overcome this challenge quickly and start earning without being held back by a lack of clients. Because you’ll be working under a brand name that is already recognized and respected by families across the country, you won’t have to build client trust and loyalty from the ground up.
Furthermore, you’ll have our experienced support with marketing and lead generation. We build individualized “Off to the Races” plans to help give each new location a head start on their marketing campaigns. Plus, we provide local referrals for both clients and caregivers so that you can begin doing meaningful work more quickly.
Time to Profitability
We are often asked by new and potential franchisees how long it will take for them to turn a profit. As mentioned above, this number is different for each franchise location and ultimately depends on a combination of variables. However, a quick look at our franchise’s financial history can show you that the runway to profitability is not nearly as long as with other businesses. This is due in part to the low upfront costs of our business model, the quick growth of the industry, and the continued demand for senior care services.
Here is a more detailed look at the average annual gross revenue of our franchises based on how long they have been in business, according to 2022 financial data located in the Item 19 of our Franchise Disclosure Document:
