Home Instead - A proven business with purpose

Home Instead provides a strong and proven foundation from which to grow a highly successful and meaningful business. 

With a sector-leading business model, a supportive network of over 265 franchise offices across the UK, and the backing of a 65+ strong National Office team, Home Instead franchisees are supported at every stage of ownership. This depth of expertise and infrastructure has enabled many owners to grow their businesses into significant multi-unit operations. 

Your chance to build a substantial business

The home care sector continues to experience sustained growth. An ageing population, combined with families increasingly choosing care at home for their loved ones, has driven strong demand for high-quality, relationship-led care. 

Home Instead’s impressive growth reflects this shift, as a globally recognised and well-established brand, Home Instead’s care approach is built on a proven formula refined over many years. Through continuous innovation, the network evolves to meet the changing needs of older people, while maintaining consistently high standards of care. 

Home Instead leads from the front

Home Instead UK is led by Managing Director Ruth Brown, who works closely with franchise owners and the National Office team to ensure the network continues to deliver outstanding care while evolving for long-term success. 

Franchisees benefit from clear strategic direction, a collaborative culture and leadership that prioritises quality, innovation and franchisee support, helping the network remain at the forefront of the UK home care sector. 

Your opportunity to be part of the UK's No. 1 homecare franchise company

With every UK territory now fully mapped and trading, resale opportunities are the only route into the Home Instead network. New franchise owners step into established businesses that have often been built and developed over many years, with existing teams, clients and strong local reputations in place. 

Widely acknowledged as industry leading, not only for its business model, but for the quality of care delivered, Home Instead provides franchisees with everything they need to thrive. Franchise owners receive comprehensive initial training and ongoing guidance and support, underpinned by a business model refined over nearly 20 years of UK trading. 

This is a management franchise opportunity. Experience in the care sector is not essential; however, successful franchisees bring leadership ability, commercial awareness and a genuine desire to develop teams, grow their business and make a positive impact in their local community. 

If you have an entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine desire to help older people live independently in their own homes, we would welcome a conversation about joining the Home Instead network through an existing franchise opportunity.
