Homewatch CareGivers plans franchise growth

Ideal franchisees have a strong passion for helping people and are active community members. They enjoy networking and working collaboratively with others.

The initial investment costs $87,000 to $137,400, including a $49,000 franchisee fee.

Interested individuals must also have a minimum net worth of $350,000 and $50,000 liquid capital to ensure additional funding is available while launching.
