We wanted to make a difference, as we have such a passion for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mimosha added: \u201cCare is personal and you need a person to care for you \u2013 you will always actually need people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-kare-plus\"><\/span><strong>Why Kare Plus? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cChoose a franchisor that offers a good level of support, with training and ongoing mentorship.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taimur and Mimosha decided on Kare Plus to become franchisees with over other options in the healthcare industry due to its unique dual model, which no other healthcare companies offer.<\/p>\n<p>They have quickly become one of the quickest franchisee success stories for the brand and are already seeing a return on what they have invested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKare Plus allows franchisees to supply both carers and nurses as an agency, as well as eventually being able to offer domiciliary care,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough my research, I found that no other franchisor in the UK healthcare industry offered this combination, making Kare Plus the obvious choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe opened the Kare Plus Rugby office doors in June 2023 and started getting out and building the business from July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team has since grown, with new employee Emma starting with us in December 2023 as our registered manager.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taimur said transitioning to Kare Plus as a franchisee was daunting initially but with continuous support from the Kare Plus team, he was able to quickly understand the business model and focus on business development and recruitment simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have a healthcare background like Mimi did and it was really good to understand the whole offering of how it works and healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is really good training and that made us feel more confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taimur found the sharing of stories through other franchise case studies within the Kare Plus network was also really useful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHearing how other established franchisees have done and how they did it very much motivated us to want the same success or do even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Businesses launched as a franchise have a stronger chance of success than those that go it alone, thanks to the national support network.<\/p>\n<p>Everything from marketing help to training, compliance and ongoing business development is included with Kare Plus on a mentorship basis.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-franchising-is-a-good-path-for-business-ownership\"><\/span><strong>Why Franchising Is A Good Path for Business Ownership<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Taimur found that going down the franchise route for his new business offered less risk than doing it alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose franchising as a path for business ownership because Kare Plus already had successful franchisees operating in different territories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis indicated to me that Kare Plus&#8217;s model was effective and reduced the risk associated with starting from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite lacking experience in the healthcare industry himself, Taimur was eager to make a difference and has found franchising a way to gain insights into the industry quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Mimi is the one with the NHS background, I do have extensive managerial experience and a deep understanding of business management,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a bachelor\u2019s degree, master\u2019s and a doctorate, plus several years experience in the civil service, which I believe are valuable transferable skills to the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeam management, workload management and meeting key performance indicators are all skills I could bring to running our Kare Plus Rugby franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taimur has big plans for his business, including significantly expanding his clients and customers with new services.<\/p>\n<p>Once they have confirmation of final CQC sign off, Rugby will launch homecare services to expand the business further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ultimate goal is to become one of the top-performing franchises for Kare Plus, while also changing the perceived way of doing things in healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aim to deliver the best agency care staff in the area and, once our CQC rating is officially signed off, the best domiciliary services.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"taimurs-advice-on-exploring-a-franchise\"><\/span><strong>Taimur\u2019s Advice On Exploring A Franchise<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The franchised business model is proving a success for Taimur and Mimosha, who are enjoying growth through their hard work, supported by Kare Plus.<\/p>\n<p>But what advice would they give to others considering taking the leap into franchising?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would advise anyone exploring a franchise opportunity to conduct thorough research and understand the market demand before choosing a territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s essential to assess what competitors are doing and determine how you can differentiate yourself with the backing of the main franchisor, in this case Kare Plus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoose a franchisor with a commitment to a good level of support, with training and ongoing mentorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They believe that at the end of the day, any new franchised business comes down to the demand for its services in their local area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it has been hard at times,\u201d admitted Mimosha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny start up isn\u2019t easy, it\u2019s hard work but we are getting there. We are getting busier and starting to build more hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"could-you-be-one-of-our-next-franchise-case-studies\"><\/span><strong>Could You Be One Of Our Next Franchise Case Studies?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do you want to become one of Kare Plus&#8217;s next franchisee success stories?<\/p>\n<p>With a unique dual business offering providing multiple revenue stream opportunities, the Kare Plus brand is celebrating 35 years in the industry in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>To start your franchise journey in the healthcare sector, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/kare-plus\/\">contact us<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHealthcare will always have people at its core.
