Hi from a pub near one of our franchise partners\u2019 office;<\/p>\n

(I\u2019ve got a coffee in front of me, don\u2019t worry)Thank you again for being one of the very early adopters of Found This <\/strong>– a weekly series of actionable start-up and growth insights, focused on the homecare sector, delivered to your inbox; Founder to Future Founder. I really appreciate it <\/em>\ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n

One graph stopped me in my tracks this week, and it has big implications for our sector. It confirms what we\u2019ve been experiencing and hearing: the Home Office have turned off the tap of Health and Care visas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

From 18,000 per month down to 3,000, and still falling. It\u2019s staggering. Here\u2019s some initial thoughts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    There has been rising concern about CQC registered companies solely existing for the purpose of charging desperate families for a UK Visa, with no real jobs to come to. That the party might be over for these people is not a bad thing, but there is still real harm done to people who\u2019ve been tricked into parting with huge sums of money and are now effectively jobless in a foreign country that has suddenly changed the goalposts about employing them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    I\u2019ve been seeing more CQC registered care companies for sale with 0 clients, and a visa sponsor licence. This hopefully is a sign that the crackdown on these people has begun. Needless to say, buyer beware.    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    I have a theory that it\u2019s these thousands of applications that have caused delays with CQC registrations, and if I\u2019m right we should see waiting times come down over the next quarter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Reputable companies are having to jump through increasing numbers of evidentiary hoops to prove to the Home Office that there is existing work for the sponsored workers, which can be difficult to prove (and without the care pros, it’s hard to have the existing work).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • Over the last, say, 6 months we\u2019ve noticed that competition and capacity in the market has increased. If current trends continue, we\u2019ll expect to see that capacity which has been artificially inflated slowly deflate, at least plateau.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Notes on growth<\/strong><\/p>\n
