Perhaps you have a friend or family member looking to own a home care franchise. You may have concerns about this, especially if they’ve never owned a business before. Owning and operating a business is an incredible responsibility and for those who have never taken on this challenge, it can be a bit unsettling, unnerving, and at times frustrating.
Home care is an incredibly valuable service to provide elderly men and women and disabled adults throughout the community. A quality home care franchise is a wonderful investment for the right people and the right reasons.
For those who wish to support this family member or friend who is seeking to embark on this new journey and chapter in their life, here are three ways you may just be able to do that.
1. Learn more about the opportunity yourself.
It’s one thing to gather information from this family member or friend, but it’s another thing entirely to learn independently of their research. There may be things you can learn and glean from your research that could help them tremendously in not only their decision, but the first few weeks or months that they operate this business.
You can contact the franchise company yourself and gather information or simply do some independent research by speaking to business owners who have embarked on a similar journey in the past.
2. Listen to them, rather than talking to them.
It’s easy to give advice and opinions, but it’s extremely difficult to actually listen to what somebody else has to say. When you have somebody you know looking to invest in a home care franchise opportunity, listen to their experiences, their concerns, their excitement, etc.
Pay attention to what they do say, give them support, and let them feel as though they truly have somebody there to talk to when they just need to work through certain challenges, problems, or concerns.
3. Understand the time commitment in the beginning.
Business owners often invest 60, 70, 80, and more hours every week into building their operation. This doesn’t change just because somebody is buying into a home care franchise. There will still be a significant time commitment, at least during the first few months and possibly years they open this operation.
As long as you understand this time commitment, it will make it easier for you to be patient with them as they spend evenings and possibly some weekends working to build this business into a great benefit for themselves, their family, and the community.
