Parents can involve other family members in operation, creating an inclusive, whole-family enterprise
One of the most appealing aspects of small-business ownership is including family in operations. While not all operational models are attuned to that desire, the Touching Hearts at Home in-home senior care franchise is designed with the idea of a family business in mind.
“Many Touching Hearts owners are people joined by their family in almost every aspect of the operations,” explains Scott Kummel, Director of Franchise Sales. “Many couples jointly operate a franchise. Some parents run the business while training their children in operations and business ownership in general.”
Family involvement grows alongside business
Often a Touching Hearts at Home senior care franchise owner’s spouse keeps their employment while the new business is building a client base and income stream. Once it has achieved the income levels mapped out in a business plan, the other spouse can come on board.
“Any well-run business has a multi-year plan for growth, and Touching Hearts is not different,” Kummel says. “Franchise owners know it’s going to take time to build up brand recognition and a client base in the community. Once they’ve done so there’s a need to add to their operational staff. The husband or wife who’s remained in another career has been preparing for that transition, and so when he or she joins the franchise as a full-time employee, it is expected and welcome staffing enhancement.”
Large families can operate multiple franchises
Many Touching Hearts owners also involve their children, brothers, sisters, and other relatives in the business. This provides an opportunity for continuity should the children wish to take over the franchise operations when their parents decide to retire. It also creates the ability for a multi-franchise business strategy.
“In many markets, we have franchise owners who have purchased multiple territories, not for immediate growth, but for expansion as more members of their family get involved in the Touching Hearts at Home business,” Kummel says. “The original franchise owner wants to grow. They know once their friends and relatives see the value of this business, they often want to come on board. With additional territories already marked out, they can move quickly and efficiently to make that happen.”
Now is the time to join the Touching Hearts at Home franchise family. We are a pioneer in the non-medical, in-home senior care industry. We anticipate rapid growth for our company as the Baby Boomer population ages. A Touching Hearts at Home franchise business is an opportunity to make a living doing meaningful work.
