5 Top Tips from Always Best Care Master Franchise

Selecting the ideal franchise can often be an overwhelming experience, with a whole industry of different options available. The first stage involves deciding what you are personally interested in and what experience or motivations you have.

For those that choose the care industry, it is essential to find a reputable franchise in order to convey your own skills and qualities accurately in an industry that can sometimes be fraught with negativity and bad publicity. The CEO of Always Best Care (ABC), Mike Newman, has recently written his top five tips to help you make a well-informed decision about the best care franchise for you.

1. Your Bedside Manner
Consider the circumstances that you may be required to work in and how equipped you are to deal with sometimes difficult or upsetting situations. Do you have previous experience in this industry? Can you remain calm in such environments? As a business owner with ABC, extensive training is provided to ensure that franchisees feel completely confident in their capabilities.

2. The Franchisor System
As you will have to follow the franchisor’s system, it is important that you understand their processes and ensure you are satisfied with the legalities. The methods by which they operate will be engrained within their success, how customers perceive them, and ultimately how successful your business will be. ABC is the only senior services franchise in the USA that combines non-medical in-home care, assisted living placement services and skilled home health care to create three potential revenue streams for franchisees.

3. Franchisor Support
As well as the initial training, it is also important to consider the ongoing support and how this is delivered. With ABC, we provide a combination of corporate and local support to enable our franchisees to navigate a clear and proven plan. This includes extensive training, sales performance metrics, marketing, national accounts, turn-key operating technology, national research associations, system-wide benchmarking and third-party customer satisfaction support.

4. Potential Growth
There are currently 14 million people in the UK aged over 60 and this is projected to increase by 50% over the next 25 years. This provides a general growing market for any care franchise and for ABC specifically, it is about ensuring that these people are living in the best possible comfort with services tailored to their needs. Our franchisees can therefore grow their own exclusive territory easily.

5. The Track Record
Does the franchise have a proven rate of success? What is the feedback from customers, especially with regards to how the company deals and interacts with people? Are existing franchisees generally happy with their business? You must make sure there is evidence of the figure you are given.

In preparation for their UK launch, ABC has been seeking a UK master franchisor – although this tendering opportunity is soon to close. The master franchisor will be responsible for managing and mentoring a franchise network of hands-on professionals. Only applicants with a wide range of business experience and high-level motivation will be considered for this prestigious position.
