We are committed to helping people start amazing home-based franchise businesses
Home Based Franchise Group, franchisors of Dryer Vent Squad, Vizta Tint, Zippy Garage Doors and Clozetivity is the culmination of the life work of two seasoned franchise industry pros: Leo Goldberger and Curt Swanson. Both have major success in the franchise industry, growing franchise systems, helping franchisors, and working with thousands of individual franchise owners to grow and become prosperous.
Our Mission
We believe franchise ownership is the best way for you to participate in the economy at your full market value. When you have a job, you abdicate what happens to you to someone else and you become trapped in someone else’s plan. We believe in helping people start and grow amazing low-cost franchises that give you the flexibility to achieve your dreams.
Our Goals
We think there’s a problem in the franchise industry when the average franchise opportunity is priced too high and is too far out of reach for the vast majority of potential franchise owners. Anyone should be able to start a business. For someone who hasn’t been a business owner, there needs to be an entry-level business to start and grow. Our main goal is to bring an entirely new generation of franchise owners into franchising affordably and grow the size of the franchise industry as a result.
