Prices are per project unless otherwise stated. New Provider Registration, at £1,200, is by far the largest single item on this page, reflecting that it covers the full CQC or Ofsted application process end to end, application completion, statement of purpose development, interview preparation, and required policy documentation, rather than a single deliverable. Additional fees may apply for complex cases.
| Service | Starting price (standard) | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Business Development (this service) | £80 (promotional materials) | New entrants preparing for registration, or existing providers expanding or strengthening market presence |
| Safer Recruitment of Management | £30 | Providers appointing or replacing a Registered Manager or other regulated role |
| Compliance & Quality Assurance | £250 (monthly monitoring) | Providers wanting ongoing compliance maintenance |
| Mentoring & Coaching | £30 (45-minute session) | New registered managers, or leaders wanting to strengthen skills |
Step-by-step guidance through the full CQC or Ofsted registration process, application completion, developing your statement of purpose, interview preparation, and the required policy documentation, priced at £1,200 standard, £1,080 for Synergy members.
They appear closely related, both offer packages starting from £300, but it's worth checking directly whether booking Web Design through Business Development gets you the same package as the dedicated Web Design page, or a business-development-specific version, since the two pages aren't cross-referenced.
Yes, Service Expansion Support covers variation applications, new location setup, and diversifying into additional service types for providers who are already registered and operating.
Business planning support covers service model selection, pricing strategy, staffing structures, and financial projections including cash flow and break-even analysis, alongside the registration paperwork itself.
Yes. Section 10 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 makes it a criminal offence to carry on a regulated activity without being registered, on summary conviction that's a fine and/or up to the general limit in a magistrates' court, on indictment, a fine and/or up to 12 months' imprisonment.
Yes, Section 11 of the Care Standards Act 2000 sets out the equivalent requirement to register a children's home with Ofsted before it operates.
Indirectly, yes. Section 5 of the Care Act 2014 requires local authorities to promote a diverse, sustainable market of care providers in their area, including understanding demand and supporting new and expanding services. That's the duty behind why local authorities publish market position statements and engage with providers who are registering or expanding, it's about shaping supply, not approving individual businesses.
Whether you're starting from scratch or expanding an existing service, we can help you navigate every stage.
