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.

New support measure delivers overwhelming value for CareYourWay network
"This new support is incredible. I'm so excited to grow." A new support tool for CareYourWay franchise partners has been successfully launched, designed to help them scale their businesses and achieve their ambition of building multi-million-pound territories.
A different kind of support.
CareYourWay’s Head Office team regularly visits franchise partners throughout the year, maintaining close, hands-on support across the network. Building on this, the business has recently introduced dedicated in-person Business Reviews at Head Office as an additional layer of support.
These sessions are designed to take partners out of the day-to-day pressures of running their business, giving them the space to step back and think more strategically. With focused time alongside the Head Office team, partners can review performance, challenge assumptions, and plan their next phase of growth with greater clarity.
This addition reinforces CareYourWay’s commitment to practical, results-driven support, ensuring franchisees have both ongoing field engagement and structured time for deeper strategic development.
Mark Chambers, Owner of CareYourWay Chichester, shared:
To be able to be face to face and disucss all the elements of the business, from performance to marketing, finance and operations, has been so much easier to delve deeply into the problems and what's going well; for us, it's just been invaluable.
A deeper dive into business performance.
Each Business Review is structured to go beyond surface-level discussions, offering a comprehensive and collaborative analysis of every partner’s business.
Working closely with the leadership team, partners explore key areas including financial performance, marketing strategy, recruitment, and wider operational priorities. These in-depth conversations are designed to challenge thinking, uncover opportunities, and ensure that every aspect of the business is aligned for success.
By creating the space for open, honest dialogue, the sessions enable partners to gain clarity on where they are — and where they want to go next.
Becky Whitehouse, Owner of CareYourWay North Manchester, shared:
It's allowed me to take some time away from the day-to-day operations and step back to look at what the next year is going to look like, which will be key for our growth strategy.
The support I've had from the Head Office team today has just been incredible and has really empowered me to look forward as to what the future will look like, making me excited to grow.
Turning insight into action.
A core focus of the Business Reviews is translating insight into clear, actionable plans.
Partners leave Head Office with defined objectives, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of direction. Whether it’s strengthening recruitment pipelines, refining marketing activity, or enhancing financial performance, each session is tailored to the individual needs and ambitions of the partner.
Importantly, these reviews also provide the opportunity to look ahead — aligning business strategy with long-term goals and supporting partners in achieving their wider hopes and ambitions.
Becky Roberts, owner of CareYourWay Chester, shared:
The day has given me new ideas to go back to the office with and things that need to be improved. Being in person and able to go things thoroughly has made such a difference.
I feel like a fresh person. The whole atmospphere and being able to be open and honest, gaining feedback from Head Office on how they think it's going and where we need to go next has been massive; knowing how we need to reach our targets.
Building momentum across the network.
Feedback from partners has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the value of stepping away from their day-to-day environment to focus fully on strategic development.
The depth of support, combined with the dedicated time and attention from Head Office, has led to meaningful progress and a strong sense of momentum. Several partners have already expressed interest in attending these sessions on a quarterly basis, recognising the ongoing value they deliver.
Shabana Pervaz, owner of CareYourWay Blackburn, shared:
It's been a very informative day. It's been nice to see everyone again face to face and get down into the depths of my business and what the next steps are to improve.
We do so much online which is always brilliant, but actually coming down to Head Office has been great - I have so much to take back to my team.
Because there are problems...
Every business encounters challenges; it is part of building something that grows and evolves. What makes the difference is not the absence of problems but having the right people behind you when they arise. CareYourWay’s continued commitment to partner success reflects this reality. As the network expands, initiatives such as in-person Business Reviews provide more than just guidance but they create space for honest conversations, shared problem-solving, and clear strategic thinking.
By investing time, expertise, and genuine collaboration, CareYourWay ensures that every partner is supported with the tools, insight, and confidence needed to navigate challenges and build a stronger, more sustainable business for the future.
