    I have been trying to get funding for my home care business, here in Minneapolis, MN. I have an EIN# and everything, nearly every bank wants personal credit info instead of your business tax id#. How can your company build capital or a good credit score, if no one gives you a chance? Anyone has any answers to my questions, please respond...

    Hello Again, I see there are a lot of new questions. First Step I would say to everyone that is very important! Before you began; Find out if your state is a "Certificate of Need" (CON) State. This will be very important to know before you attempt to move forward with opening your Home Health Agency. If you have further questions or would like help, please feel free to email us at medprobcs@yahoo.com

  • BJ said on April 15, 2010
    ANYONE with business and health care experience (RN or other allied health professional) who is seriously interested in starting a home health care AND nurse staffing agency in NC or VA please contact me. I believe that a small group of us could knock this out with minimal effort by splitting duties and startup costs. The money is there to make and now is a great time to do so. The To Do list is significant, but the resources are available and the need is great especially with changes in health care...more focus on home health (due to an aging population, more children with chronic conditions, wars, skyrocketing costs of inpatient care), Vets, pediatrics, geriatrics and hospice. We can unite, divide and conquer while providing excellent patient care!
