Re: start a nursing agency

As I have never helped anyone start a nursing agency, I do not know the state law requirements. By a "nursing agency" do you mean a temporary employment agency that supplies nurses to potential employers or do you mean providing nursing services to ultimate consumers?

I would anticipate that the red-tape associated with entering into any aspect of the medical field, which is highly regulated, would be consideration. Surely, more than can be explained in this forum.

I suggest that you contact the Illinois Secretary of State's office as a starter -- but, if it were me, I would not undertake to begin such a business without a thorough review from a lawyer.
