Extra Help – A Helping Hand for Everyone
At Extra Help, we believe that owning a home-help franchise is about far more than running a business. It’s about creating a service that genuinely improves people’s day-to-day lives.
Extra Help is a management franchise that offers a flexible range of home-help services, such as domestic cleaning, gardening, shopping, meal preparation, dog-walking, helping out with children and more. Our clientele includes elderly and vulnerable people, working parents and busy professionals – in short, anyone who needs a helping hand.
A franchise that truly supports you
Joining Extra Help means becoming part of a family where you’ll never feel alone. From the moment you join, we aim to build your confidence and capabilities, because when you thrive, your business and clients thrive too. Our approach includes personalised training, ongoing guidance and regular opportunities to connect with our wider network through regional meet-ups.
Our tailored support is designed around you, whether you’re an experienced business owner or exploring the world of self-employment for the first time. Our franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds, and experience in the industry is not essential. Franchisees regularly tell us that the encouragement they receive is one of the most valuable benefits of being with Extra Help – a supportive team is always on hand to guide and encourage you.
A community built on kindness
One of the things that sets Extra Help apart is our strong sense of community throughout our franchise network. Franchisees connect through training sessions, one-to-one check-ins, weekly Power Hours and our Annual Conference, where they exchange ideas, build working relationships and celebrate their wins. This friendly, collaborative atmosphere helps everyone to succeed.
Many describe Extra Help as a community of like-minded people who are genuinely passionate about helping others. Whether it’s a quick check-in call with our experienced Head Office team, refresher training sessions or shared advice from fellow franchisees, Extra Help always ensures you feel connected.
Purpose that matters
Running an Extra Help franchise gives you the chance to make a real and visible difference in people’s lives and your work will be deeply rewarding. Helping someone stay independent at home, offering companionship to someone who’s lonely, or easing the burden on a busy family – these precious moments are at the heart of everything we do.
Our franchisees often talk about the feel-good factor that comes from this kind of meaningful business. In their own words, it’s about enriching lives and building strong reputations within their local communities based on compassion, integrity and trust.
Your journey starts with support
Extra Help gives you a tried-and-tested, easy to replicate business model, along with the tools and training to build something you’ll be truly proud of. With encouragement every step of the way, and opportunities to grow both personally and professionally, our franchisees find this journey deeply fulfilling.
Could you be our next franchisee?
If you want to combine your entrepreneurial spirit with meaningful impact, helping others while building a purposeful business, Extra Help could be the ideal next step in your career.

Extra Help franchisees are trained over 2 days in person, during the pandemic we broke this down into shorter 1-1 Zoom sections with head office. All franchisees are appointed a mentor to guide them through their journey with Extra Help, especially in those first few months, and franchisees will have a meeting with an external business coach after joining the franchise to plan their venture.
Franchisees need little experience, as full training is given, management experience would be a bonus but certainly not essential.
Franchisees will be expected to participate in daily marketing activities, customer sign ups, and frequent recruitment. Your job as the franchise owner is to represent and manage the branch, growing its reputation and client base. Franchisees are advised to meet clients face to face so an element of local travel is often involved.
