Local Treasures Franchise Opportunity: Be Your Own Boss

Meet Sarah Heyworth, the Owner of 'Local Treasures', a tech enabled matching platform which connects people needing jobs doing around their homes with a skilled, local workforce of over 50s, who want to use their experience working flexibly well into retirement.
They offer a franchise opportunity which allows you to be your own boss and run your own team of Local Treasures, providing customers with experienced and skilled gardening, cleaning and handyman services.
The franchise costs £12,000 to buy and set up in your area. We really like this opportunity as it supports people to stay in their own homes for longer (if that is what they wish). It's passed the scrutiny of Innovate UK (the government backed entrepreneur investment scheme).
Sarah has been successful in receiving investment funding as part of the 'healthy ageing challenge'. In effect - the government has invested in her to establish this business as a franchise because of the positive impact she's demonstrated it has on the local people engaged who work as handymen, gardeners, babysitters, plumbers, cleaners, carers etc. for local residents.
These 'local treasures' are typically mums or pensioners who are topping up their income - in many ways it is a practical solution for ageing well both for the customers it serves and the local 'treasures' who contract flexibly to the business.For someone who wants to run their own business (without the risk of establishing a business model) but with the support of a franchisor and peer group of other franchisees with whom you can talk to, share experience with and learn from - then this is one you'll want to investigate.
