Cost questions
How much does a HomeCaring franchise cost?
A HomeCaring franchise costs $80,000–$120,000 all-in, captured July 2026 (source: Published on franchisebusiness.com.au). This is an estimate, confirm every figure against the franchisor's disclosure document before you commit.
What is the cheapest way into a HomeCaring franchise?
The lowest entry point is the bottom of the establishment range, $80,000 all-in. A resale of an existing site can sometimes reduce fit-out cost versus a greenfield build, but pricing depends on the site, compare both before committing.
Is a HomeCaring resale cheaper than a new site?
Not always. A resale removes some fit-out and ramp-up cost but adds goodwill in the sale price. New sites carry the full fit-out cost but start with no goodwill premium.
What hidden costs should I budget for?
Beyond the initial fee and fit-out, budget working capital for wages, stock and rent before the site is cash-flow positive. Any royalty and marketing levy are ongoing, not one-off, confirm the current rates with the franchisor.
Do I get a refund during cooling-off?
Under the Franchising Code, a new franchise agreement carries a 14-day cooling-off period that starts when you enter into it. If you exercise it, the franchisor must repay what you paid within 14 days, keeping only reasonable expenses the agreement sets out. This is a statutory right, not a franchisor concession.
