Growing Need

There is a large, growing, and under-served market for home care. Almost 12m people in the UK are aged 65 and over, 5.5m are 75+ and 1.6m are 85+. All these figures are growing and will continue to do so.

The ageing population means the demand for care services exponentially surpasses supply. But the care market is not limited to older people. Walfinch also offers care for people with specialist care needs, so there are a variety of business streams.

There are always people who require care, and with Walfinch you could be the one to provide it.

What do we do?

Presentation from Walfinch

We help people lead their lives as independently as possible, in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. Our franchisees have the satisfaction of managing a team of caregivers to provide personalised live-in and visiting-hourly care.

We offer all kinds of care from hourly care, companionship to specialist care for conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke rehabilitation, care after physical injuries, temporary respite care and more. Uniquely, Walfinch can offer live-in care too which can mean the difference between clients staying in the own homes rather than moving to a care home. Your range of services will mean you have the power to improve the quality of life for so many people!

Ongoing support is provided before and after your business is set up. As a Walfinch franchisee, you’ll become part of a community of like-minded business people, with the ability to network, compare notes, share ideas and experiences, and stay motivated.

FAQ

How long will it take to launch from the time I sign the franchise agreement?

  • Normally 3 – 4 months depending on things like CQC registration, finding an office and recruiting carers.

Will you help me with a business plan for the new business?

  • Yes. Business planning - a dedicated business plan that will outline start-up costs, cash flow and profit-and-loss projections. It will allow you to adjust key figures to ensure that it is ideally suited to your territory.

What is my expected financial breakeven and how long should it take me to reach it?

  • The time to reach breakeven is governed by the time it takes to find carers and clients of your business, but our experience is that normally it takes anything from 12-18 months to achieve profitability.

Do I need any healthcare training or background to join Walfinch?

  • No, but you will need a background in business and an understanding of how a business operates. We look for franchisees who are:
    • Driven by a desire to deliver the highest-quality levels of care
    • Enthusiastic to grow professionally and personally,
    • Keen to build a successful care business that benefits your community
    • Build a valuable asset for themselves.

Will you help me find clients?

  • Yes, we train you to find your first 100 local contacts in your territory and train you on the business development system so you are equipped to find and retain key local contacts, who will keep referring clients to you.

How will I know what to charge clients?

  • We help you with a territory review, so you understand pricing in the territory. Completing a local business plan will clarify what the level of charges should be, to pay carers well and make a fair profit.

Are locations available? Could you help me choose a location?

  • We have territories available across the United Kingdom with strong demand for hourly visiting and live-in home care. It is possible to own and run more than one franchise with us.
