What's inside

- Staff cost build-up including on-costs and travel
- Recruitment and training cost timing
- Registration, insurance and compliance costs
- Working capital and the cash gap councils create
- Sensitivity: what happens if growth is half as fast
This resource is general guidance to help you prepare. It is not legal advice and it is not a regulatory decision — CQC and Ofsted make those. Always check the current official guidance for your service type.
