Business support for growth
One of the main advantages of owning a franchise is the level of support that you receive in running your business. This is especially true of a GoodOaks franchise.

It can be lonely starting and leading your own business. As part of the GoodOaks network, our partners know they’ve always got someone to turn to to talk things through. From strategic goals for the next financial year to planning hiring a new senior member of staff, and everything in between, we’re here to support.
Our partners receive regular business reviews, which is an opportunity to stop and reflect, and to plan for the next stage of the business. Strategy meetings and playbooks help keep you on track and access to senior members of the Support Office team means we work in a genuinely partnership-led way with our franchise partners.
“I know that I can go to the Support Office team with any issues I may face and be met with a supportive, knowledgeable and helping team who will always help me work things out.”

Our business support
You’ll work with our experienced independent business coach to draft your initial business plan, which you can use to gain funding if necessary. Once you’re up and running, you’ll benefit from regular review meetings to check performance is meeting projections. We’ll help you to set objectives that work for you and are closely aligned to your goals.
Having an external pair of eyes on your business is invaluable. Our franchise partners find this input and guidance extremely helpful and insightful – and a real advantage when navigating the first few years of owning a business.
Our high growth workshop is part of the GoodOaks Franchising start-up training and focuses on hitting the ground running with your business.
The workshop includes strategies for finding and building mutually beneficial relationships with key referrers, ensuring your marketing activity is driving enquiries, and ensuring you have a robust recruitment plan to keep up with the growth of your business.
The focus of this workshop is getting your business to the point of breaking even as soon as possible by working on, rather than in, your care business.
As we still run GoodOaks Homecare directly using the same model as our franchise partners we fully understand the challenges facing businesses in a fast-changing world – as well as the opportunities.
This means we are quick to adapt and innovate, offering solutions that other head offices isolated from the day-to-day may not be able to. We see this as a real advantage of the franchise package that we offer.
You’ll benefit from our guidance and experience, that we are continually honing and testing within our own company. Our success is your success.
