Pointers regarding properties please.
BlackArtist started this topic @ 21:57 on 06/07/2009
Hi all,
I am about to be made redundant and as such I thought it was about time I used that event to start my own business, this is not a thought I have had only recently but an idea that has been kicking around my head for a few years, I just needed a push.
The type of business I intend to run, is providing housing for Adults with Learning Disabilities (ALD), while also provding care for the individuals, I have 20 years experience of working with this group of people. Thats the easy part.
Obviously I need a property to start the whole business, but as capital will be short does anyone have any ideas if I could apply for funding/grants to help me get off the starting blocks?
If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. If you need more info feel free to ask in this thread.
many thanks
Jon

Hi Jon
Do you have a background in care home management? I'd imagine there has to be pretty specific regulations in providing this sort of care e.g. fire regulations, number of carers per adult, written care plans etc.
I'm just not very sure where you would start with this - your local authority? They might have specific guidance for care homes and be able to provide some background.
sorry not to be more helpful!

If you have a good idea and solid business plan you can always look at getting a business angel, who take part of your business for financial support.
