How to start a payments app for home care agencies and carers

Home care agencies bill families for visits each week or month and pay a team of carers. Families often pay privately, alongside any funding from local services. A payments app built for the sector, under your own brand, can make billing and paying simpler, and you can offer it to agencies across a region.

What care agencies needWho could launch itThings to keep in mind

What care agencies need

  1. Clear monthly invoices for families paying privately.
  2. Regular payments set up as subscriptions.
  3. Transfers to pay carers on time.
  4. An account that shows money in and out in one place.

Who could launch it

A group of care agencies, a care franchise, a sector association or an entrepreneur with experience in home care.

Things to keep in mind

Families may be paying for a parent or relative, so clear invoices and simple ways to pay matter. Your app handles the payments; the care itself stays with the agency.
