Come and join Caremark - the REAL care company! What do we mean when we say we’re the REAL care company?

We believe that real care is about putting people first. All people! It’s about providing real care to everyone who needs it. And we’re proud to do exactly that.

Our values of respect, honesty, integrity and support remain the same for all of our people; be that a customer, our care team or our franchise network. We really do care about everyone.

It’s these values that make us different… and successful. After all, the strongest businesses are those that set out to make a difference and not only money.
In short, we are exactly what a care company should be!

If you’re looking to make a difference and a rewarding life for yourself, both personally and financially, read on as we’d love to hear from you.

A Rewarding Business!

Caremark firmly believe in getting the caring formula right. By really caring about your customers and really caring about your staff, coupled with using our business model and policies, financial success will naturally follow.

Your profits matter to us too! That’s why we still have one of the lowest Advice and Support Fees in the industry. We can do this because we are wholly UK owned with no overseas investors to report to.

Why Home Care?

Home care is an extremely stable industry. And it’s growing year on year!

With the ageing population ever increasing, and the fact that they’re choosing to receive care in their own homes, means home care is recession and pandemic proof.

With stability and longevity, home care is a great choice for owning a franchise and a profitable future.

Why Caremark?

We’re not new to this. In fact, we are one of the largest home care companies in the UK; delivering more than 124,000 hours hours of excellent home care each week. Our 19 years of experience means our business model and policies are fine-tuned and proven to succeed.

As a Caremark franchise owner, you will be one of 126 or so other Caremark offices. That’s a lot of people to bounce ideas off, share success stories and to network with. With that in mind, we facilitate regular events and conferences for our franchise network and provide regular platforms to tap into this non-competing, yet knowledgeable peer group.

Our brand operates in all home care markets. This is because, as we’ve said before, we care passionately about people - all people!

We believe that everyone, regardless of their social standing, should have the right to remain living in their own home and be given the care and assistance to do so as safely and securely as possible.

We have worked hard to build our brand in all markets and across the entire home care industry; serving private customers who pay for their own care as well as customers who require their local authority to arrange care for them. Irrelevant of how people find Caremark, we provide the same exacting, high-quality care to everyone. For you, this means you have access to the entire home care market, not just a portion of it.

Our Ideal Franchise Owner

Caremark franchise owners come from a variety of backgrounds, some with extensive business experience and others with none at all. Whatever your level of knowledge, we will work in partnership to give you the skills you require. You do not need any care experience.

With a caring nature, great business acumen and dedication, you can have a successful business, both financially and personally. Not only that, you’ll be providing a service that changes lives for the better whilst also creating hundreds of job opportunities. What could be better?

The Caremark Support

With Caremark you are never alone. You will have access to a full team of experts providing excellent training and ongoing in-region support. With 1 Regional Support Manager and 1 Quality and Compliance Manager supporting 20-25 offices, the level of support is exceptionally high, personal and extremely accessible.

Our entire support team are dedicated to assisting you to maximise business growth – we care as much about your business as you do.

The Investment

Our franchise package and license costs £37,500 + VAT. You will require a minimum of £37,500 of your own capital to invest and working capital of around £73,000 for your first year’s running costs.

Caremark has a strong relationship with the major banks, who will consider lending 70% of the total investment of approximately £118,000.

Plus it has one of the lowest ASF (Advice and Support Fee) of 4.5% + VAT and an NMF of 1%.

Join us. You’ll love being part of the REAL care company!

Caremark unveils new flexible National Marketing Fund to propel network’s growth

Caremark, a leading name in UK home care and franchising, is proud to announce the launch of its National Marketing Fund (NMF), a new initiative that aims to redefine how its franchises drive growth.

Caremark Image

Unlike traditional marketing funds, Caremark’s NMF is designed with “unrivalled’ flexibility, equipping franchise owners with the choice to tailor their marketing efforts to best align with their immediate and long-term business growth goals.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, Caremark is introducing the NMF as a direct response to the evolving needs of its network. The NMF offers postcode-specific, data-driven campaigns, giving franchise owners control over how they grow their revenue. Each business can choose whether their integrated campaign prioritises either generating new customer leads or boosting recruitment efforts.

The output is a highly targeted approach that aims to increase brand visibility, complement each franchise's separate local marketing efforts and maximise return on investment.

Emma Scholes, Director of Marketing for Caremark, shared her vision for the new NMF:

“This newly introduced National Marketing Fund represents a pivotal moment for Caremark and, we believe, it is unrivalled in the care industry in terms of its flexibility. A traditional fund tends to be spent on raising the profile of a brand, but in addition to this, we believe each of our individual businesses is the expert when it comes to having a say as to where its marketing attention should be focused. Therefore, we’ve empowered our network with the choice to either concentrate on staff recruitment or to reach new customers, and to be able to change this focus every quarter. We’re quite possibly the first big home care franchise to approach an NMF in this way and it has been extremely well received, with an astounding 80% of our network opting in.

“Roll out of the first campaign is now underway. Each franchise will benefit from an integrated campaign that leverages both digital and traditional channels to amplify its local presence and is designed for maximum impact. This new fund is about smart, data-backed, post-code specific campaigns that will deliver real results that matter to the individual franchise.”

David Glover, joint CEO of Caremark added:

“We’ve listened to our network and have responded with an adaptable and powerful tool that ensures every franchise can make the most of their investment in marketing.

“This tailored, strategic approach aims to deliver fast, measurable results while supporting long-term success for our network. The NMF ensures every business can optimise their marketing efforts for immediate effect and sustained growth. And the goal for our NMF is simple, to ensure that every pound spent works harder and smarter for our franchises.”

Caremark Testimonials
Brilliant team at the Franchise Support Centre and improving all the time. I do feel supported and when I need help the team are helpful and responsive. I have a good relationship with my Regional Support Manager.
Michael Folkes
Watching the bank account grow is just a fantastic feeling. Anybody that doesn't tell you that, shouldn’t be running their own business!”
Rob Johnstone
We had a few companies which we were exploring however the values and ethos is what drew us to Caremark. We also took feedback from our friends who were part of the Caremark group already which backed up our decision to join Caremark.
Dev Amin
I chose Caremark because of the brand name. Caremark is nationally known and I also like its mission statement which is to achieve greatness in the provision of domiciliary care throughout the UK. I found out during the initial consultation that Caremark has in place an excellent support package for all its Franchisees and that is something you don't really get with other Franchise companies.”
Sheriff Eletu
We enjoy a healthy financial bottom line, in a long-term sustainable sector, however, the real deal is that we make such a huge impact on many vulnerable people in our community. It’s very, very rewarding!”
Richard and Emily Magrath
It is important for any franchisor to quickly recognise weaknesses in their franchise owners and help them grow and develop in those areas. After all, one of the reasons we bought into a franchise was for the guidance and support the franchisor can provide. I believe Caremark, through personal experience, are well placed to recognise these issues in new franchise owners.
Calum Gray (Caremark Franchise Owner)
If you were to ask me what I was doing right, then the only thing that I can say is that in our business there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of the Caremark system and what this brings. Caremark is the best investment I have ever made and I would like to share that belief with the rest of the network.
Farina Tayub (Caremark Franchise Owner)
We have worked together for the past 10 years at Oldham local authority within children, young people and families directorate. Having previously considered other franchisors within the domiciliary care sector, we came to the decision that Caremark was the one for us. This was due to the quality and professionalism shown at every level of the organisation.
