Home-Based Business Ideas for Mums

FemaleFranchise has been helping over 1000 women to find and start their own business since 2007. With more and more woman looking to return to work or earn a second household income, franchising can be the ideal solution. 

The idea of either returning to work following maternity leave or dealing with the 'mum guilt' of trying to work around children can be difficult. It seems that the lack of flexible working is having an impact on women’s careers. Some women have stated that they have had to hold back on career progression and others have said that they have had to take a career break.

In the world of franchising, FemaleFranchise looks to encourage women back into business and to highlight that by investing in a franchise you can work from home, choose the hours that suit you and work around your other family commitments and run a professional and successful business. 

Franchising covers almost every industry sector. By investing in an already established business model you are essentially buying a 'business in a box'. The advantages of becoming a franchisee is that you have the support of an already established business behind you to provide you with support and training through your business journey. 

Here we set out some of the best home based business ideas for mums:

The Keepsake Co

At The Keepsake Co they will work with you to build your very own keepsake business. With full training on a wide range of keepsakes, they will teach you everything you need to know.  Their training doesn't end here, they are also able to work with you to build your business from the ground up.

The Keepsake Co's higher level packages include the design of a logo and a website for you to start selling from straight away.

Pillow Partners

Work From Home: Home Business Ideas For MumsPillow Partners is one of the best home-based franchises on the planet. Work from home, while truly being part of an amazing team and feeling like part of a close family.

Pillow wants to become the UK’s largest and best quality short term Property Management Franchise by offering owners a stress-free, handoffs solution while also making the best possible income on their serviced accommodation. By becoming a Regional Property Manager with Pillow, you take full control of the property and offer a first-class service to owners for a percentage of every booking.

Earning a great income while having flexible working hours has become even more important in recent times. At Pillow, they want to help people build their dream of owning their own business and achieve that work-life balance they have desperately been seeking.

The Travel Franchise

Work From Home: Home Business Ideas For MumsThe Travel Franchise helps people start their own Travel Consultancy business from home, with their award-winning business model and their customer-facing brand Not Just Travel.

You have the opportunity to work part-time or full-time, and you can fit the business around your family or other work commitments. You will get everything you need to get started immediately - many of franchisees get their first customers before they even finish their initial training.

The Travel Franchise business model is based on commission: a travel supplier pays you a fee for selling their holidays. The typical commission is 10% of the holiday value, meaning a £3,500 holiday would generate £350 in commission. With only 2 sales per week you would get £35k+ in commissions per year! The largest bookings are over £100,000 per holiday, and you will learn how to attract people who spend £10k+ per trip.

Franchise packages start from just £2,795+VAT!
