Home Instead shortlisted in three categories at this year’s Elite Franchise Top 100 Awards.

Shining the spotlight on outstanding brands in the sector and celebrating the very best of British franchising, Home Instead is shortlisted in the following categories at this year’s Elite Franchise Top 100 Awards:

  • HSBC Exceptional Performance of the Year Award
  • BusinessesForSale.com Innovation of the Year Award
  • Natalia Shvarts Community Builder of the Year Award

Demonstrating Exceptional Performance

Established in 2017, the awards have become a firm fixture in the franchising calendar, bringing together the industry’s leading brands for a standout celebration of achievement. Alongside the rankings, these awards honour businesses demonstrating exceptional performance across a broad range of criteria.

The awards follow the publication of the Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) league table last year, where Home Instead ranked at number three, maintaining its position as the highest-ranking home care company. 

This achievement marks Home Instead’s continued excellence since the league began in 2018, having claimed the number one position for the first four years running and consistently ranking in the top three ever since.

Supporting Franchise Success

The Elite Franchise Top 100 recognises the country’s strongest franchises based on the quality of their support, network success and size, community impact, and overall franchise performance, providing franchisees with instant credibility in their local market.

With over 265 offices across the UK and a growing international presence, Home Instead is one of the most established franchise networks in the home care sector. As every UK territory is now mapped and trading, resales are the only way into the network, with new franchisees stepping into businesses that have often been built up over many years. Franchisees benefit from the combined expertise of their National Office team and fellow owners, ensuring quality, consistency and innovation remain at the forefront of every business.
