Senior Services Rated a Top-Earning Franchise Sector

Here’s some more good news from the FBR for anyone who’s thinking of investing in a senior care franchise. Based on median pre-tax income, franchisees in the senior services sector report the fourth-highest earnings of any franchise sector. And out of those five sectors, the seniors services sector has the lowest median cost of investment.

This is yet another reason why the FBR named Visiting Angels its best franchise opportunity in senior services and its fifth-best franchise opportunity overall.

For starters, we’re one of the most successful and well-recognized brands in our industry. This gives our franchisees the resources they need to succeed in the senior care market. Our industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing in America right now, driven by the wave of Baby Boomers who have recently reached retirement age.

At the same time, we boast one of the more affordable franchise opportunities within the senior services sector. A Visiting Angels franchise territory costs as little as $45,950, with an initial investment as low as $84,085. This is even more impressive when you consider our ongoing royalty and cooperative marketing fees, which are particularly franchisee-friendly.

In fact, the average gross revenue of a Visiting Angels franchise is $1.1 million annually, with a profit margin between 15% and 18%. That means the average Visiting Angels franchise owner enjoys pre-tax earnings of $165,000 to $198,000. That is more than double the median pre-tax income for our sector, according to the FBR’s figures.
