Caring in Your Community: How to Start a Home Health Care Franchise

Get Started!

    A franchise is a business transaction in which the owner (the franchisor) licenses its business model, operations, branding, and products to another party (the franchisee). In exchange for this license, the franchisee can sell a service or product under the franchisor’s business name and established system. Home health care franchises are a popular investment for several reasons:

    • Rapidly expanding market: The home healthcare market is growing fast to try and keep up with consumer demand. 
    • Franchise benefits: Franchisees benefit from brand recognition, a proven business model, ongoing training, and full business support.
    • Lower overall costs: One of the main benefits of starting a home care franchise is that it costs less than starting an independent business.

    An ethical investment: In the home healthcare industry, you can make a significant difference to your community while also generating a profitable income.

    How Much Money Do I Need to Start a Home Health Care Franchise?

    Home health care franchise costs differ considerably depending on the type of services you provide. Generally, there are three main categories of franchise fees. These include:

    • Franchise fees: Your franchise fees are basically your cost of entry into the franchise family. This initial fee gives you access to the franchisor’s proprietary business model and related assets. It gives you a license to own and operate your franchise business. These fees can range from $20,000 to $150,000 depending on the size and location of the business.
    • Start-up costs: Home health care start-up costs can also be wide-ranging. They cover expenses such as:
    • Recruiting and hiring staff.
    • Facilities and equipment.
    • Licensing and insurance.
    • Professional and legal fees.

    Recurring fees: As a franchisee, you will also be responsible for paying the franchisor recurring fees such as advertising and marketing expenses and ongoing royalty fees.

    Do I Need a Business Plan?

    You will likely need additional financing before you begin your journey as a franchise owner. This is why you will need to draw up a business plan. However, there’s no need to be daunted by this. Use as much information from your Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) as possible. Ensure that you include the following information in your plan:

    • Brand history: Provide a concise description and history of the restaurant brand, highlighting key milestones and achievements. Describe the type of services offered. For example, senior care, pediatric care.
    • Market analysis: In this section, you should outline your target market and the market size for your chosen location including proximity to any competitors. You should provide data on projected growth trends within the industry. It’s also a good idea to highlight your differentiators from existing competitors. 
    • Marketing plan: Summarize the advertising and promotional methods used by the franchisor. Highlight any national or regional campaigns. Describe how you plan to promote your health care services within the community. Mention any training provided by the franchisor related to marketing and customer outreach.
    • Your financial situation: Specify your personal savings available for investment. Detail any existing loans or credit lines. Include any additional sources of financing you plan to utilize for your franchise.

    A well-prepared business plan not only impresses lenders but also serves as a roadmap for your success.
