Once you've given us a bit of information about yourself, someone from our Franchise Development department will be in touch with you to help expand your level of understanding of the Handyman Connection business model as well as the opportunity that we provide to our franchisees and customers. It is here where we will mutually agree upon the evaluation process to determine if this is a fit for both parties. Each of the following steps will be taken together via a phone call and an on-line educational brochure.

Your Franchise Development team member will share with you what sets Handyman Connection apart from other home improvement companies and help you begin to get a sense for what a day in the life of a franchisee might look like.

After it's been mutually determined that a further exploration of the business is warranted, a more in-depth discussion of the business will occur that takes you through a series of focused dialogue with your Developer. You can expect to have one or two calls per week with homework and research to be conducted between conversations. At the conclusion of this step, we will request that you complete a personal profile and financial statement. Shortly thereafter, we will send you a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for review.

As we continue through the due diligence process, you will be given a copy of our FDD. We like to devote ample time to answering any questions you may have about this document and we've found that this is also a good time to begin sharing our strategies for lead generation that will ultimately drive your business!

When evaluating a business, it's important to feel comfortable in the level of assistance that's provided to you at the franchisor level. We go out of our way to offer our franchisees every opportunity to leverage their relationship with us as well as their peers to drive their businesses and an explanation of this will make that very clear.

Traditionally speaking, the home improvement industry has been occupied by a low tech group of players. In fact, most of the people and companies in this space have historically rejected the use of technology and that's just fine with us! Their unwillingness to incorporate innovations into their businesses affords us yet another way to set ourselves apart from the competition. Using our technological capabilities you'll see how our franchisees manage their leads, projects, employees, subcontractors and marketing initiatives. Just as important, you'll also see how we can take someone who knows NOTHING about construction and prepare them to estimate projects on their own in a very short amount of time.

Upon completion of the mutual due diligence process, you will be invited to our corporate Headquarters to meet the team, participate in an actual working Handyman Connection office and get a more in-depth "test drive" of the technology and marketing components. If you are approved to purchase the franchise, we will expect that you will be ready and willing to begin the first steps of the training and start up process before you leave town.
