The need is visible – the question is who pays

If you work in care and support, you see every day what is missing. The idea is there; what is open is whether relatives, the municipality or the health insurer pay for it – and which permit the start needs. Becoming self-employed here means: clarify the funding of the service before you resign, and win the first clients while still employed.
