This is your complete step-by-step blueprint to launching a high-demand, low-competition post-op companion service in the UK, even if you have zero experience in care or healthcare.
Every year, millions of people are discharged from hospital with little to no support at home. Families are overwhelmed, patients are struggling, and there is a massive gap for non-medical recovery support.
This business allows you to step in and provide that support, without needing medical qualifications, without CQC registration, and without running a complex care agency.
You are not providing medical care.
You are providing time, support, comfort, and peace of mind, and people are willing to pay for it.
