New Owner Calendar Countdown
Typically, it takes about six months from your first enquiry at Home Instead Senior Care to completing your New Owner Training, depending on your timescales. Here’s what to expect during the process.
Month one
First enquiry: Once you’ve made your initial enquiry, the Franchise Development team will get in touch to arrange a call.
First call: This call is a chance for you to find out more about Home Instead and the team and for us to find out more about you.
First meeting: This meeting lasts approximately three to four hours and is a chance to discuss the market, the Home Instead model, pricing and detail the support you will receive. This meeting is also an opportunity for you to demonstrate the qualities you would like to bring to your own business as a franchisee.
Month two to three
Following this meeting, the Franchise Development team will keep in regular contact, supporting you through your journey.
Meeting the network: You’ll be introduced to a number of owners in the network for you to speak to and meet, this may be neighbouring owners, owners with similar territories or owners of younger offices, depending on your preferences. This gives you a chance to find out first-hand what it’s like to be a Home Instead franchisee and experience the day to day running of a franchise.
Second meeting: The next step is inviting, you to a second meeting where you’ll meet the Managing Director and Financial Controller. Together, we’ll go through your business plan and questions either of us have.
Month four to six
Your offer: Once you’ve had your second meeting and everyone is in agreement, you will be sent an offer letter and our franchise agreement.
Getting Started Day: You’ll attend our Getting Started Day, where you’ll meet your dedicated Business Support Manager and Care Support Manager. The day focuses on operational set up and gives you the opportunity to meet other franchisees who are starting their journey with you.
New Owner Training: Our training course is a week-long and held at our National Office. This means you meet our team and each department will train you on different aspects of the business. The training provides the tools and knowledge to build solid foundations for your business and you will learn alongside other new owners, establishing peer support from day one.
You’ll also be invited to attend two further training courses, each two days long, at 90 and 180 days, where you’ll be supported and trained on next steps.
