Bluebird Care Franchise

  The UK’s foremost Care Franchise in a
huge and growing market...

With government initiatives backing the care at home sector, award-winning Bluebird Care is well positioned to continue its rapid national franchise expansion

Franchising with us

Bluebird Care is the fastest growing care franchise in the UK with experience in franchising and care provision you will not find elsewhere.

Concept

Bluebird Care is a management franchise, recruiting and managing caring and competent staff to deliver the highest standards of care. Franchise owners come from a variety of backgrounds – experience in the care sector is not necessary. What it requires is a determination and a strong desire to develop a successful business by working to a proven business format. Bluebird Care has created a process of selection of franchise owners not of franchise ‘sales’ and strives hard for an ethos of business partnership with our franchise owners.

The Market

We provide care not only to older people but also to people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and to children and their families. Care can range from visits once, twice or more daily right through to live-in care.

We operate in a market currently estimated at over £20billion per annum. As more and more people are encouraged by Government to be cared for in their own homes instead of moving into residential care, the market size can only increase.

The Experience

The three directors of the Company, Paul & Lisa Tarsey and Simon Dalziel have many years experience in both the care sector and franchising. They have also put together a hugely effective head office franchise support team.

This in turn has lead to the enormous success the brand has achieved. Bluebird Care is now seen as a major provider of high quality care throughout the UK and beyond, and continues to grow this reputation.

This proven track record enables them to offer an unbeatable business and support package for their franchise owners.

Supporting our Franchise Owners

With the experience the Company has, Bluebird Care offer an unrivalled support programme to get your business off to a fast start, together with ongoing help every step of the way.

Supporting our franchise owners in developing their businesses is vital. Bluebird Care has an experienced team in place to provide high quality support in a number of areas.

We have a team of 5 regionally based business development managers who provide front-line support to our franchise owners. The team are experienced care professionals who have managed care businesses and provide crucial advice. We will also ensure all Bluebird Care businesses are up to date in all aspects of the fast moving care sector.

Support starts from the moment you join the Bluebird Care Network. We recognise the importance of providing top quality support to our Franchise Owners – you have the freedom to build your business knowing that we are behind you every step of the way. You are not in business on your own – we want you to succeed!

The Franchise Package

Bluebird Care offers a comprehensive business package tailored to get our franchise owners started quickly and confidently and on their way to business success.

The business package covers areas such as training, staff recruitment, stationery, marketing package, hardware and software, care registration, staff uniforms and business set up

Bluebird Care enjoys excellent relationships with the major banks in franchising – NatWest, RBS, HSBC and Lloyds TSB. Subject to status they would look to lend up to 70% of the total investment (including working capital).

Therefore, you will need a minimum of £27,000 liquid capital.

The British Franchise Association (bfa)

Andrew Quail, Head of Quality Standards & Compliance remarked "Our quality standards for reaching this level are set high, deliberately, and to reach this demanding level a franchisor company has to demonstrate to us that they are worthy of this level of membership.."
