Clare Kirkman

For 23 years prior to moving to Spain, I worked in the UK Health and Social Care sector. In the early years my role was hands on and in latter years - management. Now I´m dedicated to the profession by way of specialist writing, training and management consultancy. I have always loved to help people.

In May this year, following a pretty serious riding accident, I found myself needing to be cared for – and that was a brand new experience for me.

Setting up any new business can be a daunting task but setting up a care organisation can be a minefield of potential litigation if not effectively handled.

• So where do you start?
• How do you know whether to provide residential or domiciliary care services?
• What is the competition like?
• Will you need qualifications?
• What are the legal requirements?
• Will you know whether you should employ your workers or should they be self-employed?
• Do you need to charge VAT?
• Do clients and care workers need contracts?
• How much will it all cost?
• How much money will you make?

At Ginare we offer a complete package for new start organisations that will answer these and lots more of the burning questions you will undoubtedly have when first embarking on your venture.

For an initial one off fee, we will provide you with a manual that gives advice pertaining to starting up and will include:

• A step by step guide on how to set up a legal and effective care organisation
• A feasibility study for your chosen geographical location and discipline
• Data that will highlight any gaps in the market
• Warning of any saturation in the market
• Full financial planning advice including business plan and profitability forecasts
• Colour coded advice in order that you can see at a glance whether the tasks to be undertaken are easy, moderate or difficult to achieve. By doing so you will be fully informed as to whether to undertake the task yourself or seek further assistance from Ginare or another professional e.g. A solicitor.
