CQC REGISTRATION SUPPORT

We offer confidential assistance with the preparation and completion of your Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration. CQC registration is a mandatory prerequisite for all businesses that intend to carry out regulated activities. Start-up organisations and new providers need to be registered before they are able to open for business.

We designed our registration service with you as the new provider in mind. We guide and help you every step of the way online, on the phone. via Microsoft Teams or if required face to face at your business premises if required.

The registration process may sometimes be daunting but there is a need to ensure that only suitably competent, qualified, and safe organisations can register and provide regulated activities. This process can prove to be an obstacle for many start-up businesses, as the need to provide services and generate revenue, means they need to open their doors without delay. Let us help you get up and running without delay.
