Basic Information:

Skills and knowledge required

A SureCare franchise is a management franchise so no previous care experience is required. Franchise owners have come from many different sectors such as leisure and tourism, teaching, nursing, and IT. They look for good people skills and management experience. They will help you to employ a registered care manager who is responsible for the day to day care operations whilst you will be responsible for growing and managing the business.

Franchise fee

A SureCare franchise costs £36,000 (exc. VAT) however they estimate an investment requirement of between £70,000 – £90,000 which includes working capital and the franchise fee. Working Capital covers the operating cost prior to breakeven. High street banks will loan up to 70% of the total investment required.

TAG CLOUD

BRITISH FRANCHISE ASSOCIATION

In 1977, the major franchise companies in the UK decided to set up their own association. The British Franchise Association (bfa), was formed to act in the interests of the industry as a whole in assessing and accrediting franchising companies as those which meet its criteria for the structure of the franchise business, the terms of the contract between franchisor and franchisee, the testing of the system and its success as a franchise.

On this site, we only feature franchisors who are either:

Full Members of the bfa
Full Members are established franchised businesses with a proven trading and franchising record. They are prepared to have their reputation examined by the bfa, and have an established network of franchisees.

or

Associate Members of the bfa
Associate Members have proven their ability to launch and support at least one franchised outlet for 12 months and are now in the business of building their network. There will be few franchisees whose experience you can research and a short period of time over which the business has been tested.
