For compassionate people looking for a rewarding career and interested in opening their own businesses, Touching Hearts at Home offers an affordable franchise opportunity. For many of our franchisees, owning a Touching Hearts at Home has become their passionate focus, as they have found both professional and personal fulfillment with their businesses.
“Touching Hearts is an absolutely wonderful opportunity — both emotionally and financially — for people who are driven and have that entrepreneurial spirit,” says Renae Peterson, Touching Hearts at Home CEO and founder. “It’s extremely rewarding to help someone — to know that at the end of the day, you made a difference in someone’s life and you changed it for the better.”
Here are three reasons why you should consider franchising with us:
Touching Hearts is poised for rapid growth across the country
There’s never been a better time to join Touching Hearts at Home. We are a pioneer in the non-medical, in-home senior care industry, and we anticipate rapid growth for our company this year. We have territories open in high-demand markets across the country. As the baby boomer population ages, projections for the senior population by 2030 are about 72 million. There will be no shortage of clients for Touching Hearts at Home franchise owners during the next couple of decades.
“There is an abundance of clients out there,” says Ryan Fensler, Denver, Colorado, franchise owner. “For anyone new looking at a franchise, I would advise you to look at the stats for your area. Chances are, the demand is there.”
Low-cost startup fees mean greater profit potential
Unlike many of our competitors, we have lower startup costs. That’s because some of our competitors rely on continuous spending on multimedia advertising, marketing kick-off programs and field representatives to generate revenue. The franchisees pay for that marketing approach, both in the startup costs and in the ongoing marketing costs.
Startup expenses for the first six months of your Touching Hearts at Home business (including the initial franchise fee of $34,500) total $48,400 to $69,100. Touching Hearts franchisees generate revenue for their businesses through referrals from hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, doctors, nurses and social workers. However, the top referral source in our industry remains word-of-mouth from satisfied seniors and their families.
Purchasing a senior care franchise is not just investing your money. Investing in a Touching Hearts at Home franchise is a life-changing event. This is a truly unique opportunity to be financially successful while serving others.
Experienced support team is dedicated to franchisees’ success
Our franchisees benefit from the unparalleled expertise of our CEO and founder, Renae Peterson. Renae has spent her entire career in the franchise industry. Her brother, Dallen Peterson, founded Merry Maids, and Renae owned two Merry Maids franchises. Years later, she worked closely with ServiceMaster — as a franchisee, a franchisor and a franchise consultant. Renae founded Touching Hearts at Home, which grew into a leading home care provider in Minneapolis/St. Paul market before she franchised it in 2007.
Renae’s 30 years of experience equips her to coach, train and lead our franchisees with hands-on, personal experience from someone who has successfully run her own franchise business. You won’t find that type of experience in other franchises in our industry.
Now Is Time To Open Touching Hearts At Home Franchise Opportunity
“Now is a great time to invest in a non-medical home care business,” Renae says. Touching Hearts at Home is poised for rapid nationwide expansion during the next year. “Baby boomers are aging and the demand is there. It’s not difficult finding clients because everyone wants to stay in their home. Often all they need is a little extra help. Touching Hearts at Home meets that need perfectly.”
