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.
I feel like I’m never disconnected from Head Office: if there’s anything I ever need, I’m always able to call them. They have repeatedly told me that they’re only a phone call away, and they’ve proven it. It’s genuinely the best support I’ve ever seen.
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.
Head Office are amazing. I can literally ring at any time. It really puts that warmth into you knowing that you’ve got that support. You know you can do anything because you’ve got Head Office behind you.
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. Thanks to our proven track record, 60% bank funding is available subject to status, so you can get started with a minimum of £39,500 of your own funds.

The financial returns can be very impressive, both ongoing and at sale.

CareYourWay's CEO, Sarah Sabater, Nominated for Business Woman of the Year at Leading Women in Care Awards 2025!
Business Woman of the Year finalist. Vote now to show your support!
Sarah Sabater, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of CareYourWay, is set to attend the prestigious Leading Women in Care Awards 2025 in London on Tuesday, 6th March. Not only is she a finalist in the Business Woman of the Year (Home Care) category, but she has also been invited as a guest speaker on a panel alongside other esteemed professionals in the health and social care sector.
The Leading Women in Care Awards, organised by Promedia Digital Ltd., celebrate and support female leaders in the care sector, recognising their achievements and contributions to improving health and social care. The event is dedicated to highlighting the successes of inspirational women who are driving positive change and shaping the future of care.
The Sabater Family, 2005.
A Leader in Care Innovation
Sarah’s journey in the care sector began in 2005, when she co-founded CareYourWay alongside her husband, Manuel. Inspired by a personal experience of inadequate care when a loved one was diagnosed with a terminal illness, the couple committed themselves to providing compassionate, high-quality, and person-centred home care. Under Sarah’s leadership, CareYourWay has grown into one of the UK’s leading home care providers, known for its dedication to empowering individuals to live independently in their own homes.
Beyond her role at CareYourWay, Sarah is a respected voice in the care sector. She sits on the Care Innovation Summit Advisory Board, playing a key role in developing forward-thinking solutions for the industry. She is also an ambassador for the West Country Women organisation and Encouraging Women into Franchising (EWIF), supporting and mentoring women in business and franchising.
Reflecting on her nomination and upcoming role as a speaker, Sarah shared her excitement:
"It is an honour to be recognised among such an incredible group of women making a real difference in the care sector. After attending last year’s event, I’m looking forward to engaging in important discussions about the current state of the industry and how we can work together to address key challenges. Collaboration is key to the future of care."
Leading the Conversation on the Future of Care
The panel discussion at the awards will be a major highlight, featuring industry leaders such as Angela Boxall, CEO of Majesticare and Chair of Care England, Sinéad McHugh-Hicks, Managing Director of Dimensions, Dr Jane Townson, CEO of the Homecare Association, and Anita Goyal MBE.
The conversation will focus on key topics including the evolving landscape of care, innovation, and the crucial role of female leadership in driving progress.
As the awards take place ahead of International Women’s Day, they serve as an important reminder of the impact of women in the care sector and the need for continued support, recognition, and collaboration to address challenges facing the industry today.
