Franchise News – January 2025

“We need to talk about Mum & Dad… they need some extra help.”

Were you involved in this kind of conversation over Christmas? Or have you been in the past?

If so, you’re not alone. At some point, we all need to face up to our loved ones growing older and not being able to look after themselves as well as they could before.

It’s especially common at this time of year. The winter months are hard for the elderly and those in need, with low temperatures and seasonal viruses making even everyday life even more difficult than before. It’s also a time of year when families all gather together, and it might be more evident than ever that a loved one could do with a helping hand.

Which is why January is such a busy time for care businesses like Acacia Homecare

It is this time of year that families start looking for care providers they feel they can trust and rely on, and so care business with a great reputation, like Acacia Homecare, tend to receive a huge number of enquiries. A great deal of their ongoing work starts with those phone calls and emails and, usually, it’s the beginning of a valuable and meaningful relationship which will last for many years.

It also happily coincides with the time of year when most people decide to look for new jobs, which usually peaks around March/April. This means there are often quite a few quality carers who can be recruited to meet this new demand.

Of course, there is always far more demand for really high-quality care than existing care business can meet, so anytime of year is a great time to get started, but:

If you want to start your own care business in time for the 2026 peak, now is the time to put in the groundwork

Like all good things, starting your own business doesn’t happen overnight, and being a part of the Acacia Homecare franchise is no exception.

First of all, you need to decide if this is the right opportunity for you

Choosing a franchise to be a part of is not a decision you should make lightly. You’ll want to be sure this really is the future you want to create for yourself. I am always happy to send you as much information as you need, but we will likely want to have several calls about how the franchise will work for you so that you can make an informed decision. The whole process might take several weeks, or even a few months, as it’s not something you should rush.

But that’s just the beginning…

Even when you have decided you want to be a part of the Acacia Homecare franchise, your journey is just starting. You’ll need to arrange funds, set up your company, and even decide how and when you want to transition from your current job into a new business.

After that, you’ll need to schedule a time to start your training and work with the Acacia team to get your business off the ground. You’ll receive a tremendous amount of help in all of this, but the point is: it’s going to take time. You’re looking at a minimum of 6 months to launch your business, realistically.

So, why not get the ball rolling now by taking that first easy step and setting up a call with me?

You will be under no obligation, and I absolutely will not ever put you under any pressure to take things further, but why not get that process started towards realising your dream of running your own business? Just click the button at the bottom of this email to schedule a call.

If we’ve already spoken, then you are more than welcome to get in touch again anytime by phone or email to make sure you have all the information you need. If you’re ready, I can setup a call between you and the Acacia Home Care team, but I’m always happy to just go through any further questions you have on another call.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
