Handyman Franchise

[Pavlos Kasselouris]

What is your opinion on a handyman franchise opportunity? Is it worth the investment? I havent found yet someone that actually invested in a franchise and I'm concerned about a business giving royalties from gross profit. It doesnt feel good especially for systems that I can create.

I was thinking tieing this business in my general business model, but at the same time it will operate independently.

I'm with Pavlos on this one.  I know a ton of skilled tradesmen who are the worst businessmen ever.  Some good systems would benefit them greatly.  I had one recently who texted me for my email to send an invoice three times of the course of a week.  He finally emailed his bill about a week later then called me two days in a row to make sure I had gotten it and sent the check,  no CC accepted of course.  I sent it to him and three weeks later the check cleared.  How do you stay in business like that?
