About Us

We are committed to helping entrepreneurs
start amazing home-based franchise businesses

With over a decade of experience in the franchising industry, Home Based Franchise Group stands as one of franchising’s’ prominent leader in the home service franchise sector across the nation. Our family of franchises boasts a diverse portfolio of four robust brands, including Bio Superheroes™, Clozetivity™, Dryer vent Squad™, Zippy Garage Doors™, and Vizta Tint™, Spanning 200-plus franchised territories across the nation.

At HBFG we are deeply committed to ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds have the capability and opportunity to achieve and live the American dream through business ownership, and we stay ahead of the curve by consistently providing continuous training and support towards full financial independence.

HBFG specializes in identifying niche home service brands, recognizing where it needs improvement, rehaul the process, and cultivate them into nationwide powerhouses. Once its launched, we go to work, starting with continuous training and efficient support, building one location at a time.

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 through 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.

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.
