Considering a Care, Retail or Home Services franchise? Take a look at the proven Ableworld business model…
Mobility Management Franchise
Superstore | Home Fitting | Servicing
Growing market, growing demand
Our aging population need mobility support, from small regular purchases through to larger items including frames, scooters and stairlifts. It’s a vast and growing sector with Ableworld the clear market leader.
Fewer employees, fewer headaches!
Start with a team of 3 and build up to 8-10 loyal employees. Ableworld benefits from the same market as the many care franchises, but doesn’t need 100+ employees per territory, or suffer from shortages and high staff turnover.

This means our head office team is empathetic with their support for you as a franchisee, providing guidance based on real-life experience at every stage of your business journey. This isn’t common, many franchisors employ managers to deliver theory without the depth of experience.
An example of the depth of our support is offering an interim manager to enable franchisees to take a proper holiday when establishing their business in the early years. We don’t know of any other franchisors offering this without charging extra!

We are thrilled to announce Ableworld has officially been named one of the UK’s top franchises, securing 71st place in the prestigious HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 Awards for 2026.
The result builds on our success in the 2025 rankings – where we proudly placed 89th – and acknowledges another year of continually striving for excellence in all aspects of our franchise offering.

It also reaffirms our position as one of the leading franchise opportunities in the UK.
“This highlights the synergy between our support team and network”
Speaking about the news, Rhian Pita, Ableworld’s Senior Franchise & Digital Marketing Manager, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be recognised in the HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 for 2026. Securing such a prominent position is a massive achievement and a positive reflection on the entire business.
“It validates the robustness of our franchise model, but more importantly, it highlights the incredible synergy between our support team and network.
“This recognition belongs to every single person who is part of our magnificent franchise network and wears the Ableworld uniform; it is their hard work and passion for helping people in their communities that make successes like this possible.”
What the Elite Franchise TOP 100 is judged on
For those unfamiliar with the accolade, the HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 is widely considered the UK’s definitive official list celebrating excellence in the franchise community.
It is not an award given lightly – entrants are scrutinised by an independent panel of top judges from the franchising sector.
These experts rigorously score franchises against eight core criteria, including size, growth, ambition, and contributions made to franchisees and the community.
To place 71st signifies Ableworld has comprehensively met these criteria, demonstrating sustainable growth and a commitment to supporting our franchise network and customers alike.
A franchise model built for the future
Our placement in the HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 is recognition of a model that uniquely combines retail and service within the rapidly growing ageing care space.
Our goal has always been to make people more comfortable and mobile, helping them live their lives as normally as possible for as long as they can.
By supplying high-quality mobility products alongside a robust service offering – where essential purchases such as stairlifts and scooters are serviced on a recurring basis – we ensure longevity in customer relationships.
This ethos is central to our franchisees’ success, and our continued Elite Franchise ranking highlights how an ethical business can also be a financial powerhouse.
With a relatively low initial investment, Ableworld franchise owners have the proven potential to build superstores with turnovers in excess of £1m and strong margins.
It is a winning formula that benefits the franchisee, the customer, and the community alike.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our franchisees, staff, suppliers, and customers for all their contributions this year. Here’s to another successful year ahead!
