If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that traditional employment isn’t necessarily the path to financial stability and personal fulfillment. In fact, more people than ever are thinking about leaving their previous job and starting a business of their own. 

If you’ve been wondering whether now is the right time to make a career change, then franchise ownership may be right for you. When you start a new franchise business, you aren’t just landing another job. You will be an entrepreneur. As your own boss, you may just find that franchise ownership offers you far more than any job ever could. 

Let’s take a look at how to start a new business with Mr. Rooter Plumbing, one of Neighborly’s home services brands. With 40 years of collective experience and 29 top franchise brands in North America and Europe, Neighborly provides over 10 million customers worldwide with a single, trusted and comprehensive source to meet any service need inside or outside their home or business. The Neighborly system empowers over 5,000-plus franchise owners to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams with benefits exclusive to an organization of our scale, experience and performance.

The time is now

When it comes to growing a successful business, the right timing can be key. While it’s always possible to find reasons not to start a new franchise business, there are also many compelling reasons why now is the best time to become your own boss. At the top of this list of reasons is the fact that the home services industry is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, creating a myriad of new opportunities for entrepreneurs. In fact, Mr. Rooter has welcomed many new franchise owners in recent years, most of whom are seeing their hard work really pay off. Here what other Mr. Rooter owners are saying: Bill and Erin Tower or Tony and Heidi Perez. If you’ve been thinking about franchise business ownership, there has never been a better time to get started.

Support is key

When you work a traditional job, you can expect a certain level of training. But once you know your duties, the support usually ends. Not so with franchise ownership. In fact, when you become a franchise owner with Mr. Rooter, you’ll receive some of the best comprehensive training available. But that is just the beginning. What really sets Mr. Rooter apart is the ongoing support we offer each one of our franchise owners. Just because you are your own boss doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. With the right amount of support, you can focus on achieving your professional and personal goals — and start living a life you love.

Start – and stay – competitive

For many entrepreneurs, it’s the risk of launching a new business venture that offers a thrill. But if forging ahead into the unknown isn’t exactly your style, that doesn’t mean that entrepreneurship is off the table. Rather, it may just mean that a business venture with a proven track record is the right fit for you. This is what franchise ownership has to offer. When you become a franchise business owner, you are starting your new business way ahead of the startup game. This is because you’ll be following in the footsteps of others who have gone before you. This is especially true at Mr. Rooter. Our proven business models make us one of the leading home services franchise organizations year after year.
