One of the major advantages of investing into a franchise, is that they provide critical training in all aspects of owning and running a senior care business. The disadvantage is they usually share in your revenues. Its called a franchise fee. Another disadvantage is you will have less control over implementing your own ideas. A franchise is like owning your own job. You will still have a boss, the franchise developer. This business will require hiring employees to provide the assistance needed by your customers. If you prefer not to hire employees, a franchise may not be the answer. Of course you could offer some of the same elderly assistance that a senior care franchise offers. You could start a home based senior care business. A love for working with people is essential to enjoying this business.
