"There are thousands of franchise systems out there, below are some of the ways SeekingSitters is different and why our unique business is successful"

 

Quick and Affordable Start Up
Start up and the associated costs are often the most difficult to manage for new business owners. If needed, we can assist with partial financing through an affiliate of SeekingSitters. Our affiliate can loan 80% of your initial franchise and software fee for 1 or 2 years. The initial rate is based upon your credit and net worth. SeekingSitters provides you with the information and a step-by-step process to easily get your business up and running.

Franchising Offers Security
Owning a franchise allows you to go into business for yourself, but not by yourself. More than 1/3rd of all retails sales in the US are generated from franchised businesses. Franchisee owners want the benefit of owning their own business while reducing their risk by using a proven business model.

Child Oriented  and Home Based Franchises are Poised for Major Growth in 2010
More than a quarter of the population are younger than 20 and as more parents return to the work force, more families will be looking for child care to meet their needs. This represents tremendous growth potential for SeekingSitters to expand not only its customer base, but also its franchise system.

Our system is designed to be operated out of your home. Our franchisees love the ability to spend time with their families while keeping their overhead costs low.

Brand Power
No babysitting referral service or Web site offers the convenience, reliability and security that SeekingSitters does. Our franchise system has grown exponentially since 2006 and we see no signs of slowing down and we plan to be in every major city in the United States of America.

Service and Support
We have the experience, staff and the know-how to offer unmatched franchise support. If you have a question, we have an answer. When you make the decision to join us as a SeekingSitters franchisee, you're not just buying into a business, but also a family.


Customized Online Software
Our Web based program was developed solely for SeekingSitters at a cost of over $500,000. SeekingSitters is not a cookie cutter system. It handles everything from sitter/member communication to scheduling to web design. We offer complete training on our system and the cost is included in the start up fees. You can also access it on your smart phone, so no matter where you are - your business travels with you.

Major Cost Savings
Through the franchise system, you can access lower pricing on items such as printing, marketing collateral and advertising novelties. Start ups typically have less bargaining power with vendors. We also offer pricing on advertising and marketing and design at a fraction of the cost you would normally pay. Additionally, our robust online software would be out of the question for anyone to develop for this type of business. It is constantly evolving at a minimal cost to our franchisees. See our "shortcut to success" page which shows you some of the ways SeekingSitters Franchise Systems is working for our franchisees.

In-House Background Screenings
Our in-depth sitter background screening is unique for this industry and is the foundation of SeekingSitters service. As a franchisee, your screening process is already in place for you: Each Babysitting Franchise’s background checks are performed through SeekingSitters in-house investigation company which has been in business since 1978.

The In-Depth background checks are performed directly from the SeekingSitters headquarters by skilled Licensed Private Investigators who perform intense screenings on par with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. These investigations are provided to our franchisees at an economical cost and at much more quickly than other services.

Growth
SeekingSitters grows every month. In 2010 we were ranked as one of the fastest growing, young franchises in the country.  Our average growth from 2004 - 2008 was 236.11%. Click on the Fast 55 logo to learn more about the Fast 55 list.
