What it is

Not a book about starting an agency. The paperwork itself.

Most guides explain the industry and leave you to work out what to file. This one is built the other way round: every chapter ends in a page you complete, so working through it leaves you holding a licensing file instead of notes.

Part 1Decide — the honest filter, the three models, who actually pays you, sizing your countyCh 1–5
Part 2Get licensed — finding your regulator, reading the rule, what every application asks, what gets rejectedCh 6–10
Part 3Build the business — entity, the insurance you cannot open without, the working-capital gapCh 11–14
Part 4Write your manual — policies and procedures, the realistic HIPAA minimum, your compliance calendarCh 15–18
Part 5Staff and fill shifts — where caregivers come from, screening that protects your licence, retentionCh 19–22
Part 6Get clients — the six referral sources ranked, the leave-behind, the intake call, the closeCh 23–26
Part 7Price and get paid — your bill rate, fully loaded labour cost, where margin goes, collectionsCh 27–30
Inside

What a worksheet looks like.

Worksheet 8.1 — The nine things every application asks for

Work through it once and you know exactly what you are missing before you pay a filing fee, rather than after a rejection letter.

  • Legal entity name, formation date and registered agent
  • Owner and administrator background check clearance
  • Proof of general liability and workers’ compensation cover
  • Surety bond, where your state requires one
  • Policy and procedure manual, in the format your state accepts
  • Caregiver screening and training records
Who it is for

Worth $29.99 to some people, not to others.

Buy it if

You are serious enough to do the filing yourself and you want the sequence and the forms rather than motivation.

Buy it if

You have been quoted four or five figures by a consultant to assemble paperwork you suspect you could assemble yourself.

Skip it if

You are still deciding whether this business suits you at all. Start with the five free video lessons instead — they open by trying to talk you out of it.

Skip it if

You want someone to check your packet before you file. That is the course, not the workbook.

Already know you want the whole thing?

Buying the workbook also gets you into the free community and the five-lesson video course. The full programme is 49 lessons across 8 modules, roughly nine hours, with every template, quizzes, and your licence application read before you file it.

Straight answers

Before you buy.

Does it cover my state?
It is written to be state-agnostic. Every chapter teaches the rule that holds everywhere, then walks you through finding your own state’s regulator, statute and forms. It does not print fifty sets of forms — it teaches you to find and read yours, because those change and a printed copy would be wrong within a year.
Is this the same content as the course?
It overlaps but it is not a transcript. The course is 49 video lessons with quizzes, templates and feedback on your packet. The workbook is the written, fill-in version of the same path. Plenty of people start here and upgrade later.
What format is it?
A 106-page PDF, laid out to print on letter paper or to fill in on screen. No app, no login, no expiry — the file is yours.
Can I get a refund?
Email us within 14 days at info@premiumcareacademy.com and we will refund it, no explanation needed. It is a digital file, so we are trusting you; please do not make us regret that.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is educational material based on how we licensed and run our own agency. Licensing requirements, fees and timelines are set by your state and change. Nothing in it promises a licence will be granted.
