Your questions
-
You need at least £25k of your own money, and you can top that up with a business loan.
With a total investment of roughly £50k you can join a leading, supportive and innovative home care franchise, and start building something for yourself. Banks typically provide up to 50% funding, which is why you'd need to have £25k available.
-
We provide full training in marketing, branding, business development, recruitment, internal processes, policies and procedures and CQC training.
-
Absolutely, in fact we would really encourage you to do this. Our franchise partners work in partnership with us and will give you an honest and informed view on what running a Good Oaks franchise is all about.
-
We are with you all the way during your journey. Even at the very early stages as you consider your purchase, we offer hands-on input with your business planning. Then as soon as you complete your franchise agreement, our GOSTART programme provides significant start up support from a qualified business coach.
This helps to get you started in the most efficient and productive way possible.
We also offer ongoing management training and quarterly business reviews to all of our partners. Advice, guidance and hands-on support is only ever a phone call away.
-
We provide direct help with putting together a marketing plan, and our highly skilled and experienced in-house team are with you every step of the way. We will help you with everything from setting up your own website, to advising on the best methods to get new clients for your business.
-
One of the main challenges when starting a home care business is finding the right Registered Manager for your business. Not only will you save time and money by not recruiting, you will have valuable knowledge from already working within the sector.

Our Franchise Partners

I started my company after working as a care manager and getting frustrated about how things were run. Four years later, we've grown into a really sizeable company.

My background as a nurse and manager really helps me on a daily basis, and Good Oaks helped fill the gaps in my knowledge around marketing, business development and recruitment.

Join Us
I started Good Oaks as a result of working for a care provider that didn't value or respect its' staff.
It was that experience that informed our mission "to be the go-to provider of quality care at home by valuing, developing and rewarding the caring people who work with us.”
Our network shares that founding ethos, and if you believe that care can and should be better for clients and colleagues, get in touch today to find out if starting a quality care company like Good Oaks is for you.
