Service Brands Keep Expanding Despite - and Because of - Covid

In early 2022, service brands continue to appeal. Selling points can include no need for a retail storefront, lower cost of entry, little to no perishables or spoilage, simpler business models, and the ability to work from home in this Covid-infested era. Sectors such as home maintenance, child care, automotive, lodging, construction, fitness, health, senior care, and more continue to expand. Here’s a quick sampling to whet your appetite for expansion opportunities and portfolio diversification in 2022.
