About Local Handyman Group
Local Handyman Group is a modern, scalable handyman franchise built for entrepreneurs who want to own a real business—not just buy a job. Founded in 2017 and franchising since 2019, the brand has expanded rapidly across North America by combining a lean, home-based operating model with best-in-class systems, training, and leadership. Franchisees—called “Success Partners”—operate without a storefront, keeping overhead low while focusing on growth, customer experience, and profitability. Most owners start with one handyman and one vehicle per territory, then scale to multiple crews and territories using a proven, step-by-step growth model.
What truly sets Local Handyman Group apart is its declining royalty structure, which starts at 10% and drops to as low as 6% as revenues grow—fully aligned with franchisee success and without hidden national marketing or call center fees. Franchisees benefit from comprehensive in-person and virtual training, centralized technology, marketing and bookkeeping support, and a robust operational playbook designed to help the business run without the owner being on the tools. Backed by experienced leadership, strong brand recognition, and technology-forward systems—including AI-enabled automation—Local Handyman Group offers a compelling opportunity to build a scalable, community-focused business with long-term value and exit potential.
