Join Caremark – The REAL Care Company!
When you think about your next career move, do you want it to be just about profit, or about people, too? At Caremark, we believe you can have both.
Real care is all about providing quality care to everyone who needs it and putting people first. We are proud to do exactly that!
Since 2005, we have grown into one of the UK’s leading home care franchises, with more than 150 offices across the UK and Ireland. Each week, our UK offices alone provide over 135,000 hours of care, supporting thousands of families and creating real jobs in local communities. This commitment has been recognised nationally, with Caremark named BFA Franchisor of the Year 2025 and ranked 5th in the Elite Franchise Top 100.
Why Home Care?
Home care is a recession-proof and pandemic-resilient industry with long-term government and private backing. The UK’s ageing population and growing pressure on hospitals mean demand for in-home care continues to rise. Customers increasingly want to stay in their own homes, and that is where Caremark comes in.
The sector is supported by both private customers who pay for their own care, as well as customers who require their local authority to arrange care for them.
Why Caremark?
With Caremark, you have access to the entire home care market. We have also kept our management service fee at just 4.5%, one of the lowest in the sector, because we believe your profits should be yours to grow. And with 87% of offices rated as good or above by the CQC, and a group score of 9.3 on Homecare.co.uk, your business will be trusted from the very start.
Our model is proven and offers stability and scale, with a £165m network turnover in 2025, and top-performing offices reaching £6m–£11m annually.
The training and support provided
With Caremark, you are never alone. Behind every office is hands-on support from a 40-person Franchise Support Centre, which includes named specialists for onboarding, marketing, compliance, accounting, technology, and finance. The 1:2.5 support ratio clearly indicates who to contact and when.

The Ideal Caremark Franchise Owner
You do not need care experience to succeed with Caremark. Our franchise owners come from many backgrounds, some with long business careers and others taking their first step into ownership. What matters is your character and commitment.
You will complete a structured onboarding programme with an Onboarding Manager, then work closely with a dedicated Regional Support Manager and a Quality Manager who understand your territory and your goals. Together, we will build the skills and confidence you need to lead well.
The people who thrive here are caring, commercially minded and steady under pressure. They set high standards, communicate clearly, coach their teams and follow a proven plan. If you bring energy, integrity and follow through, we will match it with practical support at every step.
The Investment
Our franchise package and license costs £39,950 + VAT. You will require a minimum of £36,000 of your own capital to invest and working capital of around £73,000 for your first year’s running costs.
Caremark has a strong relationship with the major banks, who will consider lending 70% of the total investment of approximately £120,000.
Caremark firmly believe in getting the caring formula right. By really caring about your customers and really caring about your staff, coupled with using our business model and policies, financial success will naturally follow.
Your profits matter to us too! That’s why we still have one of the lowest advice and support fees at 4.5% + contribution into a National Marketing Fund.
