Start your own local home care business with training, support and guidance from Walfinch
We’re different: at Walfinch we aim to provide home care that people want, rather than simply what they need. We’re growing, and we are looking for people to join us. If you want the personal and financial rewards that come from running your own business providing bespoke visiting and live-in care at home, talk to us. We have the business and care expertise to help you start and succeed in this fast-growing sector.
The Care Home Alternative
Home care is a sizable, expanding, and under-served market. With a Walfinch home care franchise, you have the chance to improve your neighbourhood while earning a solid living. This set of benefits is rare in business.
An alternative to care homes is offered by Walfinch. We are aware that more than 90% of people say they would prefer to receive care in their own home if they ever needed it. Franchisees of Walfinch provide customers with home care in a compassionate, expert manner while upholding ethics, excellence, teamwork, and fun.
As a Walfinch franchisee, you can
- Work in a rewarding sector, helping others
- Support your local community through offering employment opportunities
- Achieve business independence
- Build an asset: 60% of Walfinch franchisees reach £290,000 turnover in year one
- Potentially generate £575,000 in turnover by year three
- Join a welcoming, supportive team
- Enjoy your job and have fun!
In addition, we offer customer management systems enabling you and your team to log clients’ medications, eating habits, hobbies, and anything else required to provide a five-star care service.
As an award-winning organisation for franchisee satisfaction, we pride ourselves in the innovative efforts of going paperless.
Our CRM and payroll functions are monitored using technological systems to maintain accuracy and efficiency.
