Chapter 1 – Introduction & The Market

In the first chapter we cover the current demand within the care sector and what demographics tell us about what will happen to that demand in the future. We also cover current conditions in the sector and how that could affect your decision to start up. We provide an initial introduction to the legislation and an insight into what the rest of the guide has to offer.

Chapter 2 – Setting Up Your Agency

Chapter 2 covers the practical side of setting up your agency. We cover starting your business, obtaining a business bank account and finding premises. We also provide advice on various other practical steps such as branding, designing a logo, stationery, transport and uniforms etc…

Chapter 3 – Registration

In this chapter we turn to the legislative requirements on getting your agency registered. We take you through the entire registration process from scratch.

Chapter 4 – Regulation

Chapter 4 covers the regulatory requirements of running your agency. It covers what the CQC will be looking for when they inspect you and what procedures and policies you will need to have in place.

Chapter 5 – Staff & Training

In Chapter 5 we look at recruitment and training. Recruiting the right staff will make a big difference to how well your agency will grow and attract paying customers. Training is also a vital part of this.

Chapter 6 – Marketing

Chapter 6 provides material on how to obtain clients for your agency. This step is so often forgotten and yet is one of the most crucial to get right. As local authority funding is restricted to high level needs only, more and more service users are having to look for and pay for their own care. This offers a great opportunity for smaller agencies who are not reliant on local authority contracts.

Chapter 7 – Developing Your Agency

Finally in the last chapter we cover building and developing your agency into a successful business. What to do when the time comes to expand, whether that is into new areas with new offices or simply expanding in your existing location. The key with our guide is that we consider everything involved in setting up and developing your agency. Not just the legislative requirements, but the very practical ones as well. We also cover the all important side of how to actually find paying customers! Setting up a domiciliary care agency is not something to be undertaken lightly.

Our guide (almost 400 pages in length) will give you detailed instructions on exactly how to go about it. It may be that the guide will give you the answer to whether or not this business is for you. It may be that you have made that decision already and in that case you can use the guide as a pathway to achieve your dream.
