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.

History
Local Handyman Group was founded in 2017 with a clear mission: to professionalize the fragmented handyman industry while creating true business ownership opportunities. What began as a local service operation quickly proved there was strong demand for a reliable, branded handyman solution that emphasized quality, consistency, and customer trust. Early success was driven by a lean operating model, strong systems, and a focus on exceptional service—resulting in rapid customer adoption and repeat business.
Recognizing the scalability of the model, Local Handyman Group began franchising in 2019. Since then, the brand has expanded rapidly across North America, attracting entrepreneurs seeking a low-overhead, home-based business with clear growth paths. The company’s leadership team—led by experienced operators and business builders—has continually invested in training, technology, and support systems to help franchisees scale from a single van to multi-crew, multi-territory operations. Today, Local Handyman Group continues to grow with a long-term vision centered on innovation, operational excellence, and building enduring businesses that deliver both community impact and lasting value for franchise owners.
