About This Franchise
Tezlom is a leading healthcare recruitment franchise, established in 2008 as a small family business and grown into one of the most decorated franchise brands in the sector. A BFA member and Winner of the Best Franchise Awards 2023 B2B Category, Tezlom connects skilled healthcare assistants, support workers and registered nurses with care homes, supported living and NHS facilities across its growing national network.
A detailed look at the Tezlom Franchise franchise opportunity, what's involved and what makes it stand out.
The Tezlom Franchise offers a compelling route into the healthcare staffing sector for ambitious entrepreneurs who want to build a genuinely scalable and high-revenue business. Founded in 2008 as a family-run operation, Tezlom has evolved into one of the most respected franchise networks in the healthcare recruitment space, combining a strong ethical culture with robust commercial performance.
Healthcare staffing is one of the most resilient industries in the economy. Demand for qualified healthcare professionals consistently outstrips supply, and this gap is forecast to widen significantly as the population ages. The healthcare market is currently valued at approximately £28 billion and is projected to grow by 40 per cent by 2035. As a Tezlom franchisee, you are positioned directly within this expansion, supplying care homes, supported living settings, critical care services and mental health hospitals with the temporary and permanent staff they need.
Tezlom franchisees average a turnover of £450,000 per year, with the network's highest performers exceeding £3 million. The model is an office-based management franchise, with franchisees focusing on sales, business development and relationship management rather than direct care delivery.
You do not need prior experience in healthcare or recruitment to invest in a Tezlom franchise. What you need is ambition, strong communication skills and a genuine drive to build something significant. Tezlom provides everything else, including an intensive three-day initial training workshop at the Southport head office, followed by a week of on-site support at your new office from a dedicated team member.
In year one, Tezlom also provides you with your own CRM system, Job Boards access, a DBS portal subscription, a business website landing page, social media support and a laptop. The total investment required is typically between £50,000 and £60,000, with the franchise fee of £28,000 plus VAT forming the first part of that commitment.
Tezlom's core values include transparency, compassion and genuine care for the healthcare workers they place. The brand pays above the industry norm, resulting in longer staff retention and a stronger reputation with the care providers who rely on them. This ethical approach is not just good practice; it is a commercial differentiator that franchisees benefit from every day.
The structural case for healthcare staffing in the UK is hard to ignore. Skills for Care's 2025 State of report found 1.60 million filled posts in adult social care, a sector vacancy rate of around 7 per cent, and a turnover rate of 23.1 per cent, equivalent to roughly 335,000 leavers a year. Those vacancies and replacements are exactly the demand a recruitment franchise meets every single day. Skills for Care projects 470,000 extra adult social care posts will be needed in England by 2040 just to keep pace with the over-65 population, an increase of roughly 27 per cent on today's total. Tighter immigration rules have already slowed international recruitment, so domestic agency supply is doing more of the heavy lifting than ever.
The headline three-day workshop at Southport is only the start. Tezlom's full onboarding is a structured 15-week programme led by six department heads, blending in-office visits, virtual sessions and a 24-hour learning management system called the Tezlom Academy. The aim is to land you operationally ready, with a live database of clients in your territory, branded launch marketing and a working pipeline before you ever invoice your first shift.
Tezlom is an office-based management franchise, not a hands-on care role. A typical morning is spent reviewing the live shift board, confirming that placements went smoothly the night before, and resolving any compliance or rota gaps with central support. Mid-morning is usually outbound business development, ringing care home managers, supported living providers and NHS framework contacts to win new accounts. Afternoons lean toward candidate attraction, interviewing healthcare assistants and support workers, and managing your small in-house consultant team. Payroll, factoring and DBS administration run in the background through head office, so the bulk of your week stays focused on revenue activity.
Tezlom does not require clinical or recruitment experience, but it does suit a particular kind of operator. People who thrive in the network tend to be confident on the phone, comfortable opening doors with care home managers and procurement teams, and willing to lead a small team from the front in the first two years. Resilience matters too, because care staffing has weekly peaks and the occasional 2am rota call. If you want a business with a clear social purpose, a defined back-office stack and the discipline of a B2B sales week, the model fits. If you are looking for a quiet semi-absentee operation, it does not.
Each franchisee operates an exclusive, non-competitive territory, and the year-one package is designed to remove launch drag.
“"You get the support of a company that's been there and done it, so you're not going it alone. Even when things get tough, knowing that I am helping people is rewarding."”
Independent franchisee research backs that up. In the WorkBuzz survey behind Tezlom's 2023 Best B2B Franchise win, 100 per cent of Tezlom franchisees reported they receive continued support from head office, and the network achieved a 5-star satisfaction rating, both metrics that are unusually difficult to hit in a sales-led B2B model.
The Tezlom Franchise gives you Best B2B Award-winning support, full back-office handling, and weekly cash flow. Request information through Franchise Hunt to explore territories.
