Three franchise businesses worth reading about

If working in the Senior Care sector appeals to you, take a look at SylvianCare. By joining its three franchises already in operation, you could contribute to this company's expansion. In order to start a SylvianCare business, an initial investment of £62,500 is required. If you plan on getting a loan to cover the startup costs, you will usually need to cover 30 to 50% of the total investment yourself. SylvianCare requires a personal investment of at least £30,000. Given these higher startup costs, this is an opportunity best suited for most established franchisees with greater access to financial resources. An investment in this franchise entitles you to financial aid, if eligible.

If the Senior Care sector appeals to you, Promedica24 is another option you could consider. There are 100 outlets open so far, and the network is expanding. You will need to invest £40,000 to begin operating your own Promedica24 business, which is an affordable initial investment. Your personal investment should account for at least £1,000 of the total amount. These low startup costs make it a good option to pursue for first-time franchisees. Also, if you can't cover the startup costs alone, you may be able to benefit from financial assistance.

Finally, another option worth considering is Seniors Helping Seniors. The brand's network is made up of 300 franchisees, which enhance its exposure. Good to know: you won't need any premises as you can work from home. If you choose to invest in this franchise, financial aid is available, providing you meet the eligibility criteria.
