What are Home Based Franchises?
Before we dive into the details about the economic impact of Home Based Franchises, it is important to understand the concept behind this business model. They are a type of franchise in which the entrepreneur can operate the business directly from their home. In other words, this means that there is no need for a physical commercial space. This way, depending on the area of activity, you can considerably reduce initial operating costs.
Growth of Home Based franchises in the market
In recent years, we have seen significant growth in the number of Home Based franchises on the market. This is mostly due to the search for flexibility and quality of life on the part of entrepreneurs. The Home Based model allows franchisees to have greater control over their working hours and to balance their professional activities with their personal lives.
Depending on the business, the initial investment for a Home Based Franchise varies between R$ 10 thousand and R$ 50 thousand – and could be even higher. In other words, the return on investment occurs over a period that varies between three and 24 months. According to information from Sebrae. With monthly revenue ranging between R$ 5 thousand and R$ 50 thousand – and may be higher in some cases.
This range of investment and return makes Home Based Franchises an attractive option for entrepreneurs looking to start their own business with limited resources. However, with substantial growth possibilities over time. Therefore, the flexibility of this business model also allows the franchisee to adapt to market demands. As well, make adjustments as needed to maximize strategic and financial results.

Therefore, for entrepreneurs who face obstacles in hiring employees, there are franchises that allow them to work alone, reducing costs and operating in a leaner way.
Therefore, this type of business offers a viable alternative for entrepreneurs looking to overcome challenges in hiring employees, enabling them to operate more efficiently and economically through franchises that allow them to work independently.
What is the low-cost franchise model called Pocket?
An example of a low-cost franchise is the pocket model, inspired by pocket books. This option is more compact than traditional stores and stands out for its “phygital” experience (physical and digital), increasingly a reality among us.
This practicality is achieved through technological solutions, meeting the demands of consumers who seek an integrated and convenient experience. In other words, adapting to the digital environment has become essential to keep up with changes in consumer behavior and increase the relevance of the business in the current scenario. In this way, the pocket franchise offers a promising opportunity for entrepreneurs who wish to invest in a low-cost business model aligned with the needs of modern customers.
According to ABF, in the coming years, the Brazilian franchise market will undergo “pocketization”. This is because 36% of the networks that have not yet adopted this format are interested in developing it, seeking to adapt to current trends.
Home Based Franchises and Pocket Franchises also comply with the legal requirements of franchise law
According to the CEO of Conex Negócios, Alessandra Tortelli, it is important to highlight that home-based or pocket franchises comply with the legal requirements of franchise law. In this sense, the franchisee acts as a business entrepreneur, regardless of the size of the franchise. Therefore, to expand and increase sales, the company should consider hiring salespeople as sales representatives. In other words, you can opt for CLT or PJ contracts. Therefore, it is essential to avoid confusion in the responsibilities and roles of those involved, thus ensuring compliance with applicable legislation.
