  • This amount may include security deposits, utilities, business license, incorporation or applicable legal fees, and an insurance deposit.
  • Required insurance policies include comprehensive general liability, including automobile liability, theft of client’s property crime coverage, workers’ compensation, and any other insurance required by statute state law or Home Instead, Inc.
  • Home Instead will require you to obtain professional liability insurance if your Franchised Business provides certain services.
  • These policies must name Home Instead, Inc. as an additional insured and you must provide proof of having secured this insurance before the commencement of your Franchised Business.
  • The estimated cost for all insurance during the first year of operation is $12,000 to $15,000, which may not include the cost of workers’ compensation.
  • Insurance costs vary from state to state. Workers’ compensation rates are based on a percentage of estimated first year payroll. Many states will charge between $3 to $12 per $100 in payroll. A few states are typically higher, such as California.

8.  Inventory:  $500 to $1,000

  • Exhibit E of the Franchise Disclosure Document details a list of items included with the franchise fee. You will, however, need to obtain an inventory of basic office supplies.

9.  Advertising – 3 Months:  $1,000 to $5,000

10.  Additional Funds – 6 Months:  $30,000 to $40,000

  • This is an estimate of the cost of your initial start-up expenses for the first six months after you open your Franchised Business. These expenses include payroll costs and may not include an owner’s salary. These figures are estimates, and Home Instead, Inc. cannot guarantee that you will not have additional expenses starting the Franchised Business.

11.  Total:  $103,000 to $130,000

  • This total estimated initial investment is an estimate based on Home Instead, Inc.’s experience to date.
  • There may be exceptions in your area that could cause the initial investment to exceed Home Instead’s estimate. This will depend on numerous circumstances including: market conditions, fluctuations in cost of equipment, technology costs, and your selection of products, services, and vendors.
  • None of the estimated initial investment expenses that you incur are likely to be refunded.
  • The franchisor has relied on its experience in operating Franchised Business offices in Omaha, NE; Abilene, TX; Phoenix, AZ; and Olympia, WA, and the experience of its franchisees to compile these estimates.
