About Blossom Home Care
Blossom Home Care offers an opportunity for ambitious individuals to build a large-scale home care business.
The brand’s business model, support, and commitment to premium quality care aims to set it apart from the competition.
Blossom Home Care targets the premium care market and serves clients who are willing to pay for premium prices. This focus allows you to achieve high profitability with fewer clients and fewer carers, simplifying your operations and boosting your return on investment.
With an ageing population, the demand for home care services is increasing. Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 5.4% over the past five years, according to research from IBISWorld. Owning a Blossom franchise positions you to capitalise on this growth by targeting both private clients and lucrative public sector niches.
How does the Blossom Home Care franchise model work?
Blossom Home Care is a management franchise that welcomes young and enthusiastic business owners.
More time
Compared with the majority of home care businesses, delivering a higher quality of care. This also means you will require a lot fewer carers, circa 40 staff per £1m sales – which means fewer management staff too, bringing down your care costs. This is because your carer visits will be at least 50 minutes, often longer. More time enables a more holistic approach to quality care and more satisfied clients and care workers.
Larger territories
Your territory will be large, capable of supporting three offices so you can build a multi-million pound highly profitable and valuable home care business. Start with one office and once established open your second, then third. You could then sell the asset, or maybe take on another territory.
Boutique care
With longer visits your expert care workers have more time to provide care to clients, using a detailed care plan and the Blossom Home Care app to report on the details of every visit. The system handles your invoicing and admin too while keeping families up-to-date on their loved ones in real-time, so they can continue their lives satisfied that the level of quality care promised is being delivered.
What type of franchisee is Blossom Home Care looking for?
Blossom Home Care says its learned a lot since it started offering the business model as a franchise.
To be successful with your own Blossom Home Care business you need to be money-motivated, commercially-minded, and happy to challenge. You won’t succeed unless you can manage people and you will need a genuine compassion for your clients and their loved ones.
You’ll need to insist on delivering first-class care, paying your carers the most, and investing in marketing to grow your business. Get this right and you will scale up quickly.
The business would love you to have your second office in year two or three and a third office by year four or five, but the timing is up to you. Either way, follow the model, take the guidance and advice provided and you should end up with a sizeable asset that you can sell in the future.
