Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our packages and services.

What is the main difference between the Professional and Ultimate packages?

The Professional package is designed for a more polished launch. It includes key marketing assets not in the QuickStart package, such as a professional logo design and an SEO-optimised starter website.

What does "Access to a Mentor" include?

It means you have a designated expert you can contact throughout the registration process to ask questions, seek advice, and ensure you're on the right track.

Is the Service User Guide included in all packages?

A fully branded Service User Guide is included in the Ultimate package. For the QuickStart and Professional packages, a template can be added for an additional £75.

What does the "Growth Strategy" in the Ultimate package's business plan include?

It goes beyond a standard plan to include detailed market analysis, competitor review, and a strategic roadmap for scaling your business in the first 2-3 years, making it ideal for ambitious providers.

What if I need something that isn't included in my chosen package?

Our packages are designed to be a comprehensive foundation for your launch. If you require additional support, such as specialist training or tender writing services not included in your package, these can be added on an a la carte basis. We can create a custom quote for any extra services you need.

What happens after my application is submitted to the regulator?

The QuickStart and Professional packages complete their service upon successful submission. The Ultimate package includes additional support to help you manage feedback from the regulator and make minor changes if required, providing peace of mind during the final stages.

Why shouldn't I just try to do the registration myself to save money?

While it's possible to do it yourself, the CQC registration process is complex, time-consuming, and has many potential pitfalls. Our service is an investment to save you from costly mistakes and months of delays. We use our expertise to ensure your application is as strong as possible, allowing you to focus on other aspects of launching your business.

Are the prices shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes, all prices shown for our registration packages are inclusive of VAT.

How quickly can a Turnaround Manager start?

We understand the urgency of these situations. Depending on availability, a manager can typically be placed on-site within a few days to a week to provide immediate stability.

What is the difference between a Turnaround Manager and a consultant?

A consultant provides advice and guidance, whereas a Turnaround Manager provides hands-on, interim leadership. They become part of your operational team, making decisions and driving the implementation of the improvement plan directly.

Is the fixed weekly retainer more cost-effective?

For longer-term placements (4 weeks or more), the fixed weekly retainer is typically more cost-effective than the standard day rate. It provides budget certainty for a sustained period of support.

What happens after the placement ends?

The goal is to embed sustainable systems and mentor your existing team. Before the placement ends, the Turnaround Manager ensures a full handover to your permanent manager, leaving them with a clear roadmap to maintain compliance and continue improving.

What is the difference between a Governance Review and a Mock Inspection?

A Governance Review is a remote, desk-based assessment of your internal systems, audits, and oversight structures. A Mock Inspection simulates an on-site regulatory visit, including staff interviews, observation, and documentation sampling. Both produce written reports with prioritised actions.

Can your services be delivered remotely?

Yes. Many of our pathways — including Remote Targeted Support, the Compliance Health Check, Leadership QA Support, and the Pre-Inspection Intensive — are delivered entirely remotely via Teams or phone. On-site and hybrid delivery is available for mock inspections and governance intensives.

What does "from £1,250" mean for the Full Mock Inspection?

The price depends on service size and complexity. A single-site supported living service will typically be at the lower end, while larger residential or nursing homes may cost more. We provide a clear quote after an initial scoping discussion.

Are your prices inclusive of VAT?

Yes, all prices shown for our inspection and governance pathways are inclusive of VAT.

Do you support services outside the East Midlands?

Yes. We support services nationwide. Remote pathways have no geographical limitation, and on-site visits are available across the UK for planned bookings. Travel or accommodation costs may apply and are quoted separately.

What information do I need to provide for you to write a tender?

You will need to provide the tender specification documents and information about your service's history, staffing, and key strengths. We will guide you through a structured process to gather all the necessary details.

Do you guarantee that a tender you write will be successful?

While we cannot guarantee the outcome of a competitive bidding process, we guarantee a professionally written, fully compliant, and compelling tender that gives you the strongest possible chance of success.

For the Lead Generation package, can I set a monthly budget for the hourly work?

Yes, absolutely. We work with you to set a monthly cap on the pay-as-you-go hours to ensure the service always stays within your budget.

What counts as a "converted lead"?

A converted lead is a successful outcome that we have directly sourced for you. This is typically defined as a signed service contract or an officially confirmed and funded placement. The fee is only payable after you have secured the work.
