FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OTTAWA / Concierge Home Services became the first woman owned Ottawa company to successfully franchise her business with the recent sale of the Hunt Club-Riverside territory to a local mother.
New franchisee Jennifer McFee says “After much time spent
researching franchises over the past four years, I am thankful that
I chose Concierge Home Services as a partner in business. I
could not ask for a better Franchisor than Rebecca Page. Her
enthusiasm, integrity and business sense is contagious! She has
built a company that everyone is proud to be a part of.”
There is a growing trend of woman business owners, but few are
taking on the expensive challenge of franchising their company.
The cost of franchising ranges from $50,000 to $200,000, pushing it
out of reach of most small businesses. Finding local specialists
experienced in establishing franchise systems was difficult. Owner
Rebecca Page commented “Ottawa has a well established high tech
sector but doesn't have a lot of support for new franchisors.”
Concierge Home Services, a member of the Canadian Franchise
Association (www.cfa.ca), worked with a Vancouver-based
franchise consultant to prepare legal documents, manuals, and
marketing strategy.
Concierge Home Services is a household management company founded
in 2001 to provide a full range of cleaning and pet sitting
services. They serve a niche market of homeowners who prefer
quality, not quantity; and service, not speed.
