Starting and running a care home as a small business in the US requires detailed knowledge of the laws and regulations applicable to the industry, as well as sound business and financial expertise. First and foremost, the aspiring business owner needs to apply for the necessary licenses to operate a care home in the state where they wish to operate and ensure compliance with state, local and federal regulations. There will also be paperwork to file and permits to obtain. Additionally, it is important to obtain the necessary certifications and accreditations required to run the business. Finally, the owners should put forth a comprehensive business plan with financial projections to obtain the necessary capital for start-up.
