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. This includes working capital to cover costs during the CQC certification process and then the time to build your new business up to deliver ongoing profits.

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

Sobia Farooq & Shahid Shoeb Named as Finalists in the 36th BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards
Leaders of CareYourWay Hertfordshire named BFA finalist for Dynamic Duo, celebrating this Husband and Wife team's commitment to excellence, growth, and community impact.
A Community-Driven Business Built on Passion and Purpose
CareYourWay Hertfordshire's Husband and Wife leadership team, Sobia Farooq and Shahid Shoeb, is celebrating after being named a finalist in the prestigious 2025 BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards, in a brand-new category of Dynamic Duo.
Launched in 2022, and the first Franchise Partner of this award-winning home care brand, CareYourWay Hertfordshire has made a remarkable impact on its local community in under three years. Combining Sobia’s background in nursing and Shahid’s expertise in law, the couple have blended their skillsets to create a care business rooted in compassion, professionalism, and operational excellence.
More Than Just a Business – A Culture of Care
From their base in Hertfordshire, Sobia and Shahid have built a strong and thriving team that delivers outstanding quality care to individuals in need. Their commitment to creating an exceptional workplace has been central to their success — with a focus on family values, personal growth, and employee wellbeing that mirrors the wider CareYourWay ethos.
Their rapid growth and powerful impact as franchise partners of CareYourWay have not gone unnoticed. In just a few years, CareYourWay Hertfordshire has become known for excellence in care delivery, high standards, and a culture where both clients and team members feel supported and valued.
Recognition for Dedication and Impact
Sobia and Shahid’s recognition as finalists reflects their tireless work in building a business that genuinely puts people first — from the clients they support to the careers they’ve nurtured within their team.
“We’re deeply honoured to be recognised as finalists in the British Franchise Awards,” said Sobia Farooq. “This journey has been one of incredible teamwork, passion, and resilience. Every member of our team plays a vital role, and this recognition belongs to all of us.”
Shahid Shoeb added: “We are proud to have created a business where care, culture, and community come first. Being a finalist is a reflection of our values, our people, and the impact we strive to make every single day.”
About the BFA and the Awards
The BFA (British Franchise Association) is the UK’s leading authority on franchising, dedicated to upholding ethical business practices and high standards. Established in 1977, it empowers businesses and individuals through accreditation, education, and expert guidance.
There are 56 finalists in the 2025 awards. 37% of entries were from brands that did not enter last year. Winners will be revealed at a black-tie dinner in Telford on 6th November 2025 following the association’s annual conference.
The awards are sponsored by HSBC UK. UK Head of Franchise, Gillian Morris, said:
“My warmest congratulations to all the finalists in this year’s British Franchise Awards. It’s certainly not an easy task but shortlisting the entries and choosing the finalists is one of the highlights of my year. As ever, there are some brilliant businesses amongst this year’s entrants. They really do represent the best of British franchising, and I look forward to seeing them all at the awards ceremony in November.”
Chief Executive of the BFA, Pip Wilkins, added:
“Our huge congratulations to CareYourWay Hertfordshire and all our finalists this year. As ever, the entries were very strong, and we commend each and every one of them for their efforts over the past 12 months to do more and to do better. Our members and their franchisees are the backbone of the BFA, upholding the ethical values of the association and we thank them for their commitment. The winners will be announced at our awards event in November, when the best in UK franchising come together to celebrate success. We look forward to seeing CareYourWay Hertfordshire there on the night and wish them the very best of luck.”
