Home Instead Senior Care franchisee Steve Boos has always followed his heart in business, starting when he worked in the paper industry for a company that was focused on reducing waste in paper manufacturing.

One career recently highlighted by the International Franchise Association is a smart choice for 2012 — senior home care franchising. That’s because the numbers of seniors, along with their needs, continue to increase no matter what is happening with the economy. The International Franchise Association has ranked the Home Instead Senior Care network among the top 12 premium franchise systems under $50,000. And together with the Small Business Administration, the Home Instead Senior Care network offers would-be franchise owners tips on what to consider before buying a franchise.
