Who should attend
Aspiring care entrepreneurs
You have the ambition to start a care business and want a clear, honest picture of what it takes.
Nurses and healthcare professionals
You bring clinical experience and want to understand the business and regulatory side of care.
Care managers and senior care workers
You know care delivery inside out and are considering stepping into ownership.

You are planning supported living or accommodation services and need clarity on how regulation applies.
What you will learn
Care business models
Domiciliary care, adult supported living, supported accommodation and residential care homes — how they differ and what each involves.
Registration and regulation
CQC registration, Ofsted requirements where applicable, regulated activities and registered manager responsibilities.
Business setup
Company structure, insurance, policies, safeguarding, governance and staffing.
Money and property
Property considerations, funding, start-up budgets and financial planning.
Securing clients
Private referrals, local authority commissioning, tenders and partnerships.
Your 90-day roadmap
Develop a practical 90-day business start-up roadmap to take away and act on.
Regulatory accuracy matters. Adult supported living does not automatically require CQC registration — whether registration is needed depends on the regulated activities you provide. It is also different from supported accommodation for eligible 16–17-year-old looked-after children and care leavers, which is regulated by Ofsted. We cover these distinctions in detail. Attending this masterclass does not guarantee registration, contracts, funding or business success — it gives you the knowledge to plan properly.
