This resale is comprised of two well-established home care franchises under Home Instead. The business commenced operations in 2008 and expanded more recently, through the acquisition of an additional territory nearby. This constitutes a Multi-Unit Operation as both territories are run as separate and distinct businesses under their own Franchise Agreements.
They benefit from shared resources, thereby optimising costs and profits. As a result, this is a unique opportunity for a new owner to join the Home Instead brand from a Multi-Unit starting position.
The business prides itself on a foundation of providing compassionate, relationship-led care, rooted in the founders’ personal experiences with the care system, and their commitment to delivering a standard of service they would want for their own family.
The business has demonstrated a strong historical growth. It is run by an established in-office team, allowing the owners to operate with a “light touch,” focusing primarily on finance and strategic guidance. And with a recent management restructure the franchise has seen increased growth, which a new owner can benefit from and harness.
