Sylvian Franchising Information & Advice
Owning a Sylvian Franchise enables you to run your own business, sharing the advantages enjoyed by an established organisation, including a tried and tested business model, nationwide marketing and brand recognition.
The first step in the franchising process is to decide if you’re ready to take on this commitment. Buying a home care franchise means embarking on a life-changing, rewarding journey, so make sure this is the right decision for you.
Do You Have The Right Qualities?
It is important for you to self-evaluate whether you have the right attributes, such as determination, an entrepreneurial mindset, sufficient time to develop the business and access the necessary financial means in order to fund and sustain yourself financially until the business becomes profitable.
The Interview
Ensuring The Right People Represent Sylvian
After deciding that a Sylvian Franchise fits your lifestyle, budget, and personal and professional goals, the next step is a meeting with us. When you buy a franchise, you are not only buying a proven system but are also entering a lasting, rewarding relationship. We need to make sure you are right for this business and that we can establish a positive working relationship. Becoming a Franchise Partner is not for everyone, and running a care business can be challenging.
We must be selective with potential franchisees to ensure the right people are representing our brand and are delivering exceptional care while experiencing the huge rewards this industry can bring. Having experience within the care industry is important; however, our main focus is on personal characteristics.
Preparing Your Business Plan
The next step will be establishing your limited company and creating a business plan which will not only help you receive financing for your franchise, it will also become your guideline for success.
Another reason to create a business plan when buying a franchise is to set out your own personal goals from the investment. Any investment you make should be well-researched, well-thought-out, and follow a purposeful structure. Creating a business plan will keep you on the right track and help you focus on achieving your goals. We can support you with the legal setups of opening your company and completing your business plan.
CQC Registration
Care Quality Commission Ratings
CQC registration is a legal requirement for any healthcare provider, which you will need in order to open your doors to clients. We will support you with registering with CQC.
We do not require our franchise partners to have previous business or managerial experience, as we are happy to support you in addressing any gaps in training through our programme. The type of person you are, and your values are more important than experience as we look for like-minded people we can create a lasting business relationship with.
Undoubtedly, every entrepreneur makes mistakes in the early years of a new business. Following the prescribed methodologies of Sylvian can help you to avoid big mistakes and strengthen the likelihood of long-term business success.
