Are you looking for one of the UK’s top care franchises?
Our first franchisees followed the business model, took our guidance, applied their skills and grew from zero to £1m turnover in year 1*.
Future stability | Deep rewards | Generous returns
Starting a business caring for people at home answers an urgent need in society, making this a stable, growing sector, one largely immune to political and economic turmoil. Better yet, advancing tech and AI presents a huge opportunity for your new business, rather being a threat.
It’s human-to-human, benefitting people throughout your local community, where working with passion, following a proven business model and applying sound values delivers real rewards.
What MATTERS most
We live by focusing on what matters most, with a wonderful caring culture that franchisees have embraced for their local businesses too.
As franchisor we are a multi-generational family team, providing franchisees a real breadth and depth of experience, a pure passion for care and stability for the network’s future.
- Build your business following one of the very best models. A reputation for excellence – our template operation is rated in the top 2% of care providers by the CQC.
- By taking care of the little details that really matter to our clients, a culture embraced across the network, franchisees also enjoy 28% of business coming through referrals.
- Target a wide mix of private clients, avoiding the pressures of functional local authority care.
- Franchisees enjoy direct access to the family’s huge breadth of skills, knowledge and experience to grow their business.
- No industry experience needed. If neither you or your business partner have industry experience, employ a registered manager to nurture the care portion of your business.
- Established in 2005 and launched as a franchise in 2021, we still have prime undeveloped territories available across the UK.
People just like YOU
The CareYourWay franchise is a perfect route to building your own business in the care sector, and we welcome business partnerships too! In fact, our most successful franchisees combine an astute commercial-minded partner with a passionate people-person, someone who wants to lead from the front.
When we were looking for a franchise within this sector, we did not want to settle for mediocrity. When we started speaking to CareYourWay, we felt deeply aligned with their family values, and after discovering that the model is based off a CQC ‘Outstanding’ operation in the top 1% of UK care providers, that was the driving force we needed.
In our first financial year, we reached £1,000,000 turnover, and I just can’t believe it. We’ve changed thousands of lives so far, all made possible by Head Office. We wouldn’t be here without them
Support from Head Office is amazing. Next to none. We meet with Michelle weekly which is fantastic – we’re following an amazing process with a great and clear direction. We’ve never been in this industry, so it’s all extremely valuable.
CareYourWay cared for my Mum at the end of her life. They were amazing - they went above and beyond with anything that she needed. The team were just brilliant, and that made me want to join and become a franchise member.
Care is hard work and carries a lot of responsibility, we don’t believe you can succeed in this sector without ‘caring’ and that brings its own stresses. With a business partner and all of us at head office, you won’t ever be alone on this business journey.
Investment + Returns
The total initial investment varies from £80k - £130k depending on your business plan.

CareYourWay awards new franchise in South Buckinghamshire
Building on its strong presence across the London region, CareYourWay is excited to expand its network by awarding a franchise to Rupa Kotecha-Smith, the new Director of CareYourWay South Bucks.
CareYourWay is proud to announce its expansion into South Buckinghamshire, with the launch of CareYourWay Chilterns under the leadership of Rupa Kotecha-Smith. As one of the top 20 home care groups, CareYourWay continues its growth by bringing its excellent-rated, family-run ethos into the Buckinghamshire area.
Meeting the needs of local communities.
Across South Buckinghamshire, more families are seeking dependable, compassionate care that allows loved ones to remain in the comfort of their own homes. CareYourWay Chilterns has been established to meet that need — offering flexible, personalised support designed around each individual.
Strengthening a growing regional presence.
The Chilterns expansion further strengthens CareYourWay’s presence across the wider region, now complemented by newly awarded franchises in both Harrow and Buckinghamshire, operating alongside its established service in Hertfordshire - the organisation’s first franchise location.
With neighbouring borders, these areas are naturally aligned, creating an opportunity to deliver joined-up, consistent care across communities that often share local networks, healthcare services, and family connections.
This proximity enables CareYourWay to build a stronger regional footprint while maintaining the personalised, locally led approach that defines its service.
A locally-loved approach.
At the centre of CareYourWay Chilterns is owner Rupa Kotecha-Smith, who brings a strong commitment to delivering care that is both professional and genuinely personal.
Her approach is grounded in understanding the unique character of the local community and ensuring that every client receives a service tailored to their circumstances. By combining local knowledge with CareYourWay’s established standards, the Chilterns branch is well positioned to deliver a service that families can rely on.
Raising the standard of home care.
CareYourWay has built a reputation for delivering award-winning care through a model that prioritises consistency, trust, and compassion. That same ethos underpins the Chilterns expansion.
From carefully selecting and supporting care professionals to maintaining a strong focus on quality, CareYourWay Chilterns is committed to upholding these standards from day one — ensuring that every interaction reflects the organisation’s values.
Looking ahead.
The launch of CareYourWay Chilterns marks a significant milestone in the CareYourWay legacy, extending access to exceptional, relationship-led home care across South Buckinghamshire and neighbouring communities. It represents not just growth, but the next stage in the evolution of a home care provider whose very existence is rooted in living and breathing excellence in care.
Working alongside its neighbouring franchisees, the service becomes part of a strengthening, connected network — one that exists to support individuals to live independently, with dignity, and with genuine continuity of care in their own homes.
Every stakeholder of CareYourWay congratulates Rupa Kotecha-Smith on being among the top percentile of individuals to be awarded a franchise.
