Lassad Care Services

Success Story 12 September 2023

Region/Nation East of England
Sector Health & Social Care
Programme Start Up Loans

Juliet Chibasa borrowed £3,000 in June 2023 to grow Lassad Care Services. Lassad Care Services, based in Chelmsford, is a domiciliary care business that offers a range of services for the elderly, children, and young adults, including personal care, light cleaning, attending appointments and day centres, walks, holidays, meals, and family support.

I have always had an interest in entrepreneurship. Lassad Care Services started out as a cleaning business but then I realised the care sector was where I really wanted to focus, as it’s one that has struggled exponentially in recent years and I wanted to make my mark.

I took out a £25,000 Start Up Loan last June which was vital for setting up a Wiltshire office to meet council requirements efficiently, and since then my business has been growing. My advice to fellow entrepreneurs is to remain authentic and unwavering in pursuing your goals.
