Considering Franchising? Meet Home Instead at the National Franchise Exhibition 2026
If you’re thinking about franchise ownership, meeting the people behind the brand and hearing first-hand what it takes to build a successful business can be an invaluable part of your decision-making.
On Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October, Home Instead will be at the National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham, giving prospective franchise owners the opportunity to meet our team, ask questions and discover whether Home Instead could be the right next move.
Whether you’re looking to start your first franchise, diversify an existing portfolio or explore opportunities in the growing home care sector, come and meet us at stand G230.
Turn your research into a conversation
Choosing the right franchise is a big decision. There’s plenty you can research online, but attending the National Franchise Exhibition gives you the opportunity to go beyond the website and have a real conversation about your ambitions, experience and what franchise ownership could look like for you.
Our Franchise Development team and franchise owners will be on hand across the two days to answer questions about:
- Available franchise territories
- Established franchise and resale opportunities
- Investment and funding
- Training and ongoing National Office support
- Multi-unit ownership
- Business growth and expansion
- What day-to-day franchise ownership really looks like
It’s also a chance to hear directly from people already running Home Instead businesses and learn about the different routes they have taken into franchise ownership.
With more than two decades of experience in the UK and over 265 franchise territories, Home Instead offers the opportunity to build a business of your own while benefiting from the systems, expertise and wider network of an established franchise brand.

Wafa Mohbubul: Franchise Owner
Wafa’s Home Instead journey began as a part-time Care Professional alongside her career in technology. At just 24, she took the leap into business ownership by purchasing an established Home Instead territory.
Since then, she has transformed and grown the business, making her a great person to speak to about becoming your own boss, buying an established franchise and taking on business ownership at a young age.
Sunny Singh: Multi-Unit Franchise Owner
Sunny joined Home Instead in 2023 through the acquisition of an established territory and has since expanded to become a multi-unit owner across three territories.
With experience of acquiring established businesses, leading existing teams and growing within the network, Sunny can offer first-hand insight for anyone interested in franchise resales and the potential for longer-term multi-unit growth.
Hear from Home Instead at the NEC
As well as meeting us at our stand, Luke, Wafa and Sunny will be taking part in seminars and panel discussions throughout the exhibition.
Why visit Home Instead?
No two journeys into franchise ownership are the same. You might be considering a move from employment into business ownership, looking for your next investment or thinking about how you could build and diversify an existing portfolio.
At the National Franchise Exhibition, you can talk openly with our team about where you are in that journey and, importantly, hear from people who understand the process from both sides: the team supporting prospective owners and franchisees who have already made the move.
