Franchising
Sylvian Franchising Information & Advice
Business Format Franchising is a proven method of starting your own business. Operating as a Sylvian Franchisee will give you access to training as well as an operating system and a methodology for running a Domiciliary Care business that has already been proven and tested and has a track record of success and profitability.
Building your franchise will still involve hard work on your part, and we will expect you to follow our ‘system’, after all that is how we successfully grew our own business.
As your franchisor, we are there to help and support you during the lifetime of our partnership. It has been said many times before, but we feel that it is worth repeating, we will only be successful based on the success of our franchisees.
The Facts About Franchising
From an independent survey carried out by NatWest & The BFA
The franchise industry is worth £17.2 billion to the UK economy
There are over 900 ‘franchise systems’ operating in the UK (most of them you will never have heard of)
This accounts for over 48,000 franchise units
Over 71,000 people make a living in franchised businesses
Possibly the most compelling argument to buy a franchise instead of starting independently is illustrated by the following facts
93% of franchised businesses reported profitability
The percentage of franchised businesses that suffer commercial failure is 0.9%, vastly lower than the figure for the non-franchised sector.
Your Role As A Franchisee
Managing The Business & Recruiting Staff
As a Sylvian business owner, you do not need care qualifications or a background in the industry. If this is the case, then we would help you recruit a suitably qualified Care Manager, which is required in order for you to gain the necessary CQC registration.

Funding Your Care Business
The above facts illustrate why the major High Street Banks support franchising as a business model and will lend up to 50% of the required capital to help you start your business. If you lack the required capital, we can introduce you to a number of parties who may be willing to offer funding.
Our Business Model
Responsibility For The Overall Management
Our business model is a ‘Management Franchise’. We do not expect you to personally provide the care. Your role will be to manage the business and to source suitable care staff.
