FAQs

Common questions about starting up.

CQC's own registration fee depends on the type of service — domiciliary providers typically pay around £325 for the first year. The bigger costs are the prep: company setup, insurance, premises (where applicable) and the policy work. Our Hub replaces the £6,000–£12,000 most startups spend on consultants.
