I am interested in opening a care agency. I would like to know how much does it cost to open one at home?

Costs of starting a care agency vary depending on the size and type of business you want to set up. For example, an agency providing personal care services to people in their own homes is likely to have different start-up costs to an agency that provides residential care services.

You will need to consider the costs of setting up your business, such as:

– Renting or buying premises
– Recruiting and training staff
– Marketing your services

You will also need to factor in on-going costs such as:

– Wages and salaries for staff
– heating, lighting and other business running costs
– Insurance

If you are planning to set up a care agency, you should speak to your local authority or Care Quality Commission (CQC) to find out what registration and regulation requirements there are in your area.
