Supporting micromarket development: A practical guide

The Department of Health funded a three-year NAAPS project to test a business model designed to support and stimulate the development of a range of micro care and support services. These can provide real choice for people that need care or support to live the lives that they choose as part of their local community.

The project has successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of this local support agency approach and learning from the first phase has been brought together in a detailed practical guide for local authorities and other organisations interested in stimulating and supporting micro enterprise in their area.
