About this FREE Course

Most new care providers are told they need a business plan—but very few are told that one plan cannot serve every purpose. In a regulated care environment, different audiences expect different things. The CQC looks for evidence of safety, stability, and good management, while banks and investors focus on financial performance, growth, and risk. This free course introduces the concept of having two business plans for one care company—each designed for a specific purpose. You will learn: - Why one business plan is not enough - The difference between regulatory and commercial planning - What the CQC expects vs what funders expect - The risks of using the wrong plan - How both plans can be aligned using the same data This is a short, focused session designed to give you clarity before moving forward with your care business.
