The role of a Sylvian Franchisee

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.

As a Sylvian business owner, you do not need to have care qualifications or a background within the industry. If this is the case, then we would help you recruit a suitably qualified Care Manager. This would be required in order for you to gain the necessary Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration, which we successfully gained in 2014.

You will find yourself carrying out the following tasks:

  • Recruiting, training and managing your own staff
  • Interviewing, assessing and recruiting suitable care staff
  • Along with your Care Manager (if applicable) training your care staff to meet the Sylvian Care standards
  • Visiting Prospective Client’s to assess their needs
  • Preparing individual client care packages
  • Forming close relationships with the relevant local authorities

“The biggest support we had, at the beginning, was in gaining clients and recruiting staff. Moving forward, we still have loads of support, like the Sylvian Academy. It is fantastic and makes a serious difference.” Sylvian Care Southampton

Why trust Sylvian Care as your growth partner?

  • First-Hand Experience – Sylvian Care founder, owner and CEO, Cristina Grancea, is actively involved in the franchise. Alongside the Senior Leadership Team, Cristina provides first-hand knowledge of building and running her own large-scale home care business
  • Longevity – With 11 years of operating experience in the care sector, we’ve navigated tough challenges and celebrated successes
  • We Listen – Franchising is all about collaboration. We relish ideas and feedback from our network, working together to create a strong brand

Training and Support

  • One-week training academy will give you a solid foundation of learning, delivered by internal and external trainers - all experts in their field
  • Advice on business setup, plan, and location
  • Training courses, mentoring and coaching
  • Support with relevant documents and accreditations
  • Recruitment assistance and matching carers to clients
  • Ongoing support  including 6 month launch programme, peer sessions, annual conference, business support check ins, collaboration stations, refresher courses, operation manual and approved suppliers.

“From the very beginning of our training, they have been there for us whenever we needed them. Their experienced management team is always ready to offer support and guidance. We highly recommend Sylvian Care Franchising to anyone looking to build a thriving business in the care sector.” Sylvian Care Franchisee Farnham

What we look for in a franchise partner

Caring for some of the most vulnerable individuals in our society is a huge responsibility. We are very proud of our brand and the reputation that we have built. As you would expect, we are very particular about whom we grant our franchises to.

You do not need to have a previous history of working in the care sector, although it may be advantageous.

You need an entrepreneurial mindset, although we would argue that you shouldn’t be an out-and-out ‘entrepreneur’ as we will expect you to follow the systems that have made us successful. Have you a track record in managing people, problem-solving and multi-tasking, all skills that will come into play as a business owner?

Do you have a financial understanding of Profit & Loss and Cash Flow, crucial for any business owner? Building a successful business is a full-time job, and often you will be working more hours than you currently do.

Can you allocate sufficient time to develop the business? Remember you are developing a business which can not only provide you with an enviable lifestyle but one which can have an attractive future resale value.

“I was a qualified social worker but always interested in working with elderly people and providing care. We’ve had an amazing hand-holding experience. We are on a journey of success. We learn different things each and every day, setting us up for the future.” Sylvian Care Leicester West
