As a Radfield franchise partner, you’ll have access to a national, forward-looking and ambitious brand, proven business model and a growing network of successful businesses, to fast-track you to your own success.

We’re a purpose-driven business

For the past 40 years, our brand has been inspired, guided and driven by a consistent purpose: To make ageing a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for all involved.

As Radfield co-founder Dr Hannah MacKechnie explains: “Care is amazing. Great quality care can transform a moment, a day, even a relationship. Care should be about making people feel understood, valued and supported. About enabling people to live their best life for as long as possible. That’s what exceptional care means to us. It’s what we grew up with in the care home our parents ran, it’s how they inspired us and now we’re proud to be working with outstanding franchise partners to start more businesses, with the right people, to take Radfield’s high quality care out to the whole nation.”

Running a care business can be a hugely rewarding experience in so many ways. The difference our services make to the lives of our clients and their families and the wider communities in which we operate is visible and inspiring.

Those moments, experiences and relationships are made possible by our Care Professionals. And they can only provide Radfield services to the high standards our brand is built on when they work for a well-led and successful business. There’s no exceptional care without an exceptional business.

That’s why at Radfield everything we do is designd to work with our franchise partners to support them in building high-performing businesses with care at their core.

And that’s why our franchise partners know they can always rely on Radfield for exactly the right expert, tailored support and guidance they need at every stage of their business.

An investment for long-term success

Starting a franchise is an investment for the long term. The financial returns can be significant over time. Like any business, this depends on the level of effort and commitment you are able to put into growing your business, all with our expert support of course.

Once you’ve been accepted in principle into the Radfield network as a new franchise partner, you’ll need to be in a financial position to make the right level of investment to get set up.

In order to start your business, you’ll need your Radfield Home Care franchise fee of £35,000 plus VAT, along with working capital of around £60,000 to get the business up and running. That means, including VAT on the £35,000, you will need access to an initial investment of around £102,000.

Thanks to Radfield Home Care’s well-established and recognised business model, we can make introductions on your behalf to a number of high-street banks who are willing to lend up to 70% of this initial investment.
