The Opportunity

Successful Mr. Handyman franchise owners are Achievers in their life's pursuits. They come in all shapes and sizes, walks of life, and life stages: individuals, husband and wife, mother and daughter, father and son teams - all with an uncommon desire to succeed both in their professional careers and in their personal lives.

Being a successful franchise will not just be about your ability to carry out repair work. More important is character and attitude. You need to be self-motivated, disciplined and display high levels of enthusiasm and energy. Being personable, with good people skills is also a quality that we look for. And, you will need to be reasonably capable with the use of a computer.

If you fit the mould, Mr. Handyman can be your opportunity to take control, to manage for results, and to reward yourself with a family-friendly lifestyle that few other business owners ever experience.

It is important to understand that although you are running a business with a proven track record and with the support and guidance of an experienced, committed team it is your business and only you will be responsible for how it performs.

Not every homeowner is a professional handyman with time to spare – time-conscious individuals and families want a "one-stop" solution for every major and minor home repair. We fill a unique need by helping prioritise and efficiently manage repairs that increase home values. Your home improvement franchise helps the millions of home owners who have millions of pounds of home repairs on one long "To Do" list. And you could manage one of our many successful home improvement franchises that tick items off the list, giving customers peace of mind. The home improvement market in the UK is estimated to be worth £31.5 billion. It is a badly serviced, unreliable and fragmented market

Professional handyman services on time. Done right.

Testimonials

As a woman Mr Handyman was a fantastic way for me to own my own business. It's not something I would have done on my own but I am really grateful for this franchise and the support I get. It is a great business for a woman as we know what needs to be done around the house.
Judy Rowe - Owner

I've been an ICU nurse and university professor for 22 years. You do not have to be "Handy" to be a Mr. Handyman Owner. My husband and I have enjoyed working together on homes we purchased and renovated. We're both creative and willing to work hard for that potential we initially see in a house. Some of our purchases require more "vision" than others but we are passionate about turning houses into homes. I feel we bring this passionate drive and energy to my management of Mr. Handyman. When I don't have a paintbrush in my hand, I enjoy reading and growing roses.
