Home services is the largest franchise category by brand count, and for good reason: recurring revenue, recession-resistant demand, and low real-estate overhead. Most home-service franchises operate from a van or small warehouse, keeping build-out costs under $150K. The trade-off is labor intensity — finding and retaining technicians is the #1 challenge franchisees report. Brands with strong training programs and marketing support (look for ad fund spending in FDD Item 6) tend to have better franchisee retention.
All data is extracted from official Franchise Disclosure Documents filed with state regulators. Investment ranges come from FDD Item 7; royalties from Item 6; unit counts and growth from Item 20. See our guide to reading an FDD for methodology details.
