Caremark – Weymouth & West Dorset

Launched in 2015, this Caremark franchise has grown to achieve a turnover of circa £670,000 thanks to the quality of care it provides in the local community. Rated ‘Good’ in all five areas of the CQC inspection, the business enjoys an exceptional local reputation and has the platform to push for an ‘Outstanding’ rating, the highest level achievable.

There is considerable scope to grow this resale; the business currently provides circa 500 care hours per week. A new owner could significantly increase revenue by developing the live in care service and continuing to recruit new members of staff to fulfil the demand for care.

The current owner has found demand incredibly high, and as a result, has spent much of his time recruiting new staff. The franchise is very well established, however, there is a large amount of unexplored territory – offering a new franchisee the opportunity to significantly grow this already thriving business.

The homecare market continues to grow significantly year-on-year, creating a perfect scenario for a new owner to enjoy considerable rewards‚ personal as well as financial. Specific industry experience is not essential as the business is already well established, and has an experienced office team in place. The ideal candidate to purchase this business will be compassionate, have management experience, a strong business acumen and a burning desire to help people.

Caremark was launched as a franchise in 2005, but the roots of the company go back as far as 1987, to a rest home established in Brighton.

Kevin Lewis, one of the most experienced home care experts in the UK, recognised the need for a specialised care service to be delivered on a national scale via franchising. From 1995 to 2001, Kevin built a UK-wide network of successful franchise owners. His desire to improve standards and access for customers led him to launch Caremark, which is one of the only Domiciliary Care Franchises that is UK owned and based.

Over the years the company has steadily expanded throughout the UK, Ireland, and Malta and currently offers home care provision in over 95 UK locations. With total commitment to its customers, Caremark has an enviable reputation for providing exceptionally high standards of home care and endeavours to maintain uncompromisingly high standards of commitment to its customers in a caring, friendly and professional way. In 2019, Caremark was voted number 7 in the ‘Elite Franchise Top 10’.
