Setting Up Services

Getting Your Services in Place

Now that you understand more about your funding and what it can be used for, it’s time to arrange the services and items you need. Check the details below before contacting service providers. Feel free to share this page with them too!

Step 3

Registering your service providers

Whether you’re keeping your current service providers or hiring new ones, they’ll need to register with Capital Guardians to receive payments. Capital Guardians is the online platform we use to manage all financial aspects of your Support at Home funding.

Simply send your service provider’s email address to your Care Advisor and they will send them an invitation to register.
