Independent or Franchise?
In the ever-changing landscape the healthcare sector, aspiring providers often find themselves at a crossroads: should they embark on an independent journey, charting their course with full autonomy, or opt for the tried-and-tested path as a franchisee?
At HLTH Group, we understand the weight of this decision, so let’s delve into the unique benefits each option presents and explore how HLTH Group can help bridge the gap to offer the best of both worlds.
Independent Provider: Forging Your Path
For those who crave complete autonomy and control over their business direction and ethos, the Independent Provider model is an enticing proposition.
Imagine shaping your services directly to meet the unique needs of your clients, without the constraints of a pre-established framework. With HLTH Group, this vision becomes a reality.
Independent Provider: Freedom to Excel and Grow
- Unparalleled freedom to tailor your services according to client needs, fostering meaningful relationships and delivering personalised care.
- With support from the HLTH Group – you can opt-in to the systems, documentation and person-led support we offer, that a franchise may offer, while retaining your independence.
- Significant financial benefits without the burden of upfront fees or ongoing royalties, allowing you to reinvest in your business and community.

Franchise: Worth It?
On the other hand, the Franchise model offers access to a business model with established customer bases and brand recognition. For some new providers, seeking a somewhat simpler entry into the healthcare sector with robust support systems, this pathway holds some appeal.
