Do I Need Experience to Own a Home Care Franchise Business?

Are you considering buying a home care franchise, but you don’t have a healthcare background? Here’s the experience you do (and don’t!) need to build a successful business in the booming home care industry.

So, we’ll start by addressing the obvious question—do you need a healthcare or home care background to buy a home care franchise? The answer is an easy no! While having a background in the industry would certainly help you run a successful business, it’s not necessary. When you buy a franchise with a home care provider like Simply Helping, you’ll receive extensive training in all things home care. We’ll teach you about compliance, best practices, and industry standards.

Plus, we’ll even help you onboard quality carers and support workers who do have experience. So, you’ll have a dedicated, expert team, helping you provide high-quality care and support.

We’ve established that you don’t need industry-specific experience to buy a home care franchise. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need any experience at all. Like any other business, a franchise needs an owner who is business minded. You should already have basic knowledge of what it takes to operate a successful business, be able to demonstrate financial literacy, and have steadfast motivation. A franchise business will only suit a person who truly wants to run and grow their own business, and has the smarts to do so.

Whether you have industry experience or not—now is the time to start your business in home care. The industry is booming, with more and more ageing Australians needing care daily. Plus, given home care is an essential service, your business will continue to trade even during times of uncertainty. So, if you’re looking for a business opportunity in a growing, stable industry, a home care franchise might be right for you!
