A caring business


Growth in the care sector is good news for Availl INVESTMENT LEVEL: £28,750


T


he care sector is one of the fastest growing in the UK at present and as such represents a tremendous opportunity for the right individuals. The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC)


report, ‘Not Just a Number’, states: “The provision of home care services has grown significantly over the past few years. The number of home care services registered with the CQC increased by 16 per cent in 2011/12, and a further 6 per cent in the first six months of 2012/13.” Graham Parker and Paula Wilson-Parker,


who founded Availl in Cambridge in 2007, recognised this ongoing growth. Graham comments: “Our vision for Availl isn’t to be just


Graham Parker and Paula Wilson-Parker


another agency or provider of staff, but rather a service that’s all about people.” He adds: “We are looking for franchisees


who share our values, who will work tirelessly to deliver the Availl standards of care in a local area. No two days will be the same, the hours will be long, but the potential rewards both


financially and personally are significant.” Availl recently launched as a nationwide


franchise opportunity and, therefore, have more territories available compared to established brands. Equally, multiple revenue streams are an option as, in addition to older people, Availl also provide services for adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health needs and brain injuries, as well as temporary cover in care and nursing homes. No prior experience of the care sector is


required; more important is being a self-starter who will invest the necessary time to build the business and become the face of Availl in the local area. Where the franchisee has no prior experience of the care sector, assistance will be provided with the recruitment of a registered manager to work in the business. The total cost is £28,750+vat plus working


capital, which includes a 10-day training package, on-site support, marketing launch campaign, IT package and much more. n
