Lastminute Care & Nursing

Welcome to the Lastminute Care & Nursing franchise 

Build a Business in One of the UK’s Largest and Most Resilient Sectors

A recruitment franchise with a second income stream built into the model.

Lastminute Care & Nursing offers ambitious entrepreneurs the opportunity to build their own business within the growing health and social care sector — without needing previous experience in care or recruitment.

What makes the opportunity different is the two-stage business model.

You first build a profitable health & social care recruitment agency, supplying qualified staff to organisations across the sector. Once your recruitment business is established, you can then develop the Inclusive Support home support model alongside it.

That means two complementary brands, two potential income streams and one shared infrastructure, creating the opportunity to build a larger and more diversified business.

Why Lastminute Care & Nursing?

The health and social care sector represents a huge and ongoing demand for reliable staffing and support services.

Lastminute Care & Nursing has developed a proven franchise model designed to help franchisees enter the sector with a structured system, extensive training and ongoing support.

The opportunity includes:

• A recruitment business supplying staff into the health & social care sector
• The opportunity to develop a complementary home support service
• Access to established systems, processes and procedures
• Head Office marketing and lead-generation support
• Training and mentoring from experienced operators
• Dedicated support throughout your journey
• Access to CRM and bespoke shift-management software
• Payroll and invoice-finance solutions
• A territory designed to provide significant growth potential
• The opportunity to build a substantial, scalable business

Two Brands. One Business Opportunity.

The model is designed to develop in stages.

Stage 1 – Build Your Recruitment Business

Your first focus is establishing a successful recruitment agency supplying staff to the care market.

The franchise model is designed to provide a relatively low-cost route into the sector, with franchisees supported through training, systems, marketing and operational guidance.

According to the franchise brochure, some franchisees have reached break-even in as little as three months.

The business can generate income from a wide range of clients, including:

Nursing providers | Independent care homes | Mental health hospitals | Learning disability services | Community clients | Local authorities | NHS services | Case management companies | Direct-payment clients | Private-paying clients | Specialist services

Stage 2 – Add Inclusive Support

Once your recruitment operation is generating profits, you have the opportunity to introduce the Inclusive Support home support model.

Rather than starting an entirely separate business, you can utilise the infrastructure, systems, office team and care-staff availability you've already developed.

This creates the potential to build a broader operation while benefiting from the economies of scale created by the two complementary services.

What Could You Earn?

The franchise brochure sets out the following indicative financial targets:

£400,000+

Expected Year 1 turnover

£60,000+

Expected Year 1 profit

The brochure also references a pilot operation achieving £900,000 turnover and £150,000 profit in Year 1.

These figures are examples from the franchise business and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results. Actual performance will depend on factors including territory, sales activity, recruitment, operating costs and how effectively the franchise system is implemented.

An Affordable Route Into Business Ownership

The franchise package is designed around keeping initial costs under control.

Franchise Fee: £15,000+VAT & a flexible 0% interest free payment plan.

Recommended Working Capital: Around £10,000

The franchise model is designed to allow you to begin trading without the substantial upfront infrastructure traditionally associated with launching a domiciliary care business.

You are provided with the systems, training and support required to establish the recruitment operation first, with the opportunity to develop the home support side of the business as you grow.

You Don't Need Industry Experience

You don't have to come from a care background.

Lastminute Care & Nursing is looking for people with the right attitude, work ethic and ambition.

You'll receive training covering the key areas required to operate the business, alongside ongoing mentoring and support from the Head Office team.

The philosophy is simple:

Don't just tell franchisees what to do. Show them how to do it.

From initial training and business planning through to launching your office and developing your territory, the support team is there to help you build momentum.

What You Get

Your franchise package includes a comprehensive range of support and resources, including:

• One week of Head Office 1-to-1 training and mentoring
• One week of pilot-office training and business planning
• Head Office marketing for your new branch
• On-site training at your own office
• Day-one launch support
• Website, hosting and email accounts
• Artwork, stationery and business cards
• New computer with business systems installed
• Marketing materials and sales documentation
• 24-hour telephone support
• Dedicated email support
• Access to Head Office
• Online CRM database
• Bespoke shift-management software
• Payroll and invoice-finance solutions
• Free training for your first new office worker
• A dedicated support team throughout your franchise journey

A Territory Built for Growth

Lastminute Care & Nursing has designed its territories to provide franchisees with significant room to grow.

The model focuses on building a strong recruitment operation within your territory before expanding into the complementary Inclusive Support service.

The result is an opportunity to develop from a recruitment operation into a multi-income-stream care business.
