Last time I talked about some of the factors you\u2019ll be thinking about when deciding whether to employ a Registered Manager (RM) to attach to your CQC application.<\/p>\n

In short, there are three options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Employ an RM from Day 1<\/li>\n
  2. Apply to be the RM yourself if you can<\/li>\n
  3. Use our Registration Service to de-risk your start-up (more on that later)\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The standard approach has been, and still is for many franchisors, for a franchisee to hire an RM and once that person has been recruited, to apply for CQC with that RM. There are some obvious and not so obvious pros and cons to the options above, so I thought it\u2019d be helpful to give my take here.<\/p>\n
