Why this matters for your registration
- •CQC uses your business plan to help assess whether the proposed service is likely to be financially stable and appropriately managed.
- •It should demonstrate how the business will meet the needs of the people you intend to support and how the service will operate in practice.
- •A strong business plan helps give CQC a clear and realistic picture of your proposed home care service before registration is granted.
What you should prepare
- •An executive summary explaining who you are, what service you intend to provide, who you will support and what you aim to achieve.
- •Background information about your company, management team, relevant experience, qualifications and responsibilities.
- •A clear description of the service, including what you will provide, how it will be delivered and why the service is viable in your local market.
- •Your home care pricing structure, including care-call rates, enhanced charges, double-handed care and how those charges connect with your costs.
- •A 12-month monthly income and expenditure forecast based on realistic staffing, travel, management and operating assumptions.
- •Local market research, SWOT analysis, staffing responsibilities and company structure information that all tell a consistent story.
