How to start a home care agency in Florida

These are the real steps — in the order that saves you time and money. Each one is covered in depth inside the Startup Kit.

01

Choose your service type

Companion care, home health aide services, or skilled care — your choice decides which AHCA license you need, your startup cost, and how fast you can launch. Most new owners start non-medical and expand later.

02

Register your business & get your EIN

Form your LLC with the Florida Division of Corporations, then get your federal EIN. Doing these in the right order keeps your license application clean.

03

Apply for your AHCA license

Florida home care providers are regulated by the Agency for Health Care Administration. The application has requirements most first-timers miss — and mistakes here cost months.

04

Get insured & set your policies

Liability coverage, workers' comp decisions, and the core policies AHCA expects you to have in place before you serve your first client.

05

Hire & onboard your first caregivers

This is where most new agencies stall. You get the same hiring and onboarding systems I use with established agencies — job posts, screening, and a 7-day onboarding structure.

06

Get your first clients

Referral sources, positioning, and the basics of getting known in your county — so your license doesn't sit unused while bills come in.

I actually did it

I built and ran a home care staffing agency in South Florida — this kit is the playbook I wish I had on day one.

Generic "start a business" advice won't get you through AHCA. Everything here is built for Florida's rules.

Plain language

No jargon, no 200-page manuals. Clear steps, in order, with the documents you need.

Beyond the license

Most guides stop at paperwork. This one covers hiring, onboarding, and getting clients — the part that actually makes money.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a license to start a home care business in Florida?
Yes. Home care providers in Florida are regulated by AHCA (Agency for Health Care Administration). The license type depends on the services you offer — the kit walks you through choosing and applying for the right one.
How much does it cost to start a home care agency in Florida?
It depends on your license type, county, and insurance choices. The kit includes a cost planning worksheet so you know your number before you spend anything.
How long does it take to launch?
With the steps done in the right order, most owners can move from decision to licensed operation in a few months. Doing steps out of order is the #1 cause of delays.
I already started — can you help me finish?
Yes. If you're stuck mid-process, email me and tell me where you are. I offer one-on-one guidance beyond the kit.
