The Healthcare Franchise that has Two Business Opportunities in One

Prestige Nursing is a company operating in the related fields of healthcare recruitment and homecare services and is seeking to recruit a limited number of franchise owners to help share its success in these markets

An Established Company

Prestige Nursing was originally founded in 1945 and specialises in the supply of temporary nursing and care staff to a wide variety of organisations, companies and individuals. We franchised in 1998 and have 35 branches across the UK. It is this success and experience, forged through a variety of business climates that we invite potential franchise owners to share.

Growing Sector

Prestige Nursing franchise owners will operate within a marketplace with huge potential. With the UK's rapidly ageing population providing the impetus, nursing and care agencies currently work with organisations and individuals whose combined spend on agencies is in excess of £3.7BN per annum. By helping our franchise owners target both the homecare services and healthcare recruitment sectors, Prestige can offer the potential of significantly higher returns and less risk than those franchises that focus solely on domiciliary care.

Supporting You to Achieve Success

We're not offering any shortcuts to success, any promise of quick riches or unrealistic lifestyles. What we are offering is the chance for a limited number of franchise owners to join with us in delivering an exciting range of services across the UK. A franchise owner's determination, enterprise and sheer hard work will be matched to our experience and market presence to create a successful, stable and thriving business helping those who cannot always help themselves.

Three Guiding Principles

There are three guiding principles behind the design of our franchise package, the first of which is that our franchise owners must be able to work as much as possible on their business rather than in it. Secondly, the franchise has to be supported by realistic and thorough planning both before and during after the franchise owner launches the business, and lastly it has to be driven forward by consistently focusing on a small number of highly important business indicators of success.

We are therefore determined to offer unparalleled training and support over the life of a Prestige Nursing franchise, as the range of services shown below illustrates.

• A 6 month training and development programme for all franchise owners that includes three weeks initial launch training followed by regular knowledge reviews, training days and service updates
• Dedicated on-line franchise operations manual with supporting materials
• Automatic enrolment with ISO 9001 and Investors in People standards
• Membership of industry bodies UKHCA & REC
• Access to Prestige Nursing's award-winning care worker training
• Full launch package that includes all business stationery, training materials and rostering and accounts software
• Regular conference calls, quarterly regional meetings and annual conferences as part of our on-going support system
• Bespoke real-time management information systems providing information on key performance indicators and other benchmarking standards
• Dedicated support team from Prestige Nursing, including a Franchise Support Manager and franchise owner mentor
• Automatic enrolment with Peninsula Business Services for professional advice on all aspects of staff employment, health and safety and where applicable, tax issues
• Hosted e-mail service and dedicated web pages for the franchise
• Centralised recruitment administration service for all franchise owners
• Hosted payroll and invoice preparation service for all franchise owners
• Dedicated business development teams for both healthcare staffing and homecare services
• Benefit from all of Prestige Nursing's promotional and recruitment campaigns

The cost of the franchise package, excluding working capital requirements is £30,000 + VAT

Who's Ideal for Us

We are looking for a limited number of franchise owners to run their own nursing and care agency business within a well-researched and targeted franchise territory. Although you do not need a background in care for this franchise, we do expect a background in staff management, business development and financial planning. Any franchise owner that joins us must have a firm commitment to owning, operating and developing your own business and a desire to deliver the very best care or nursing service possible. We are already recognised as one of the leading agencies in the UK, we want unique individuals to help us improve still further.
