Everything an expertise business needs to be hired: credibility with your buyer, the intake and proposal flow, the pipeline and the invoicing.
A staffing business, not a practice, so ownership is straightforward everywhere. The thing that kills agencies is not regulation. It is paying nurses weekly while facilities pay you in sixty days.
Go-Live, $4,500. Every price is on this page. Two builds a month, waitlist beyond.

Can you own a nurse staffing agency in your state?
You are supplying staff rather than practising, so corporate practice rules generally do not apply and no medical director is required. Some states require a staffing agency licence or registration, and that is named in your requirements brief.
Pricing, published
Your track is decided by what the business actually does, not by your budget. Published scope caps and a written not-included list, every time.

Before you commit to a build: one session that walks your whole intended operation and tells you plainly whether a nurse staffing agency is the right thing to open.
Fifty percent to book, fifty before launch, or six monthly payments at the same total. Interest free, never a discount. Every Go-Live includes ninety days of Rounds, then $179 a month if you keep it. All services and add-ons.
Because you pay nurses before facilities pay you. The build is the same order of cost as any other; the working capital is the real number and we would rather state it than hide it.
Yes, and many do. Per diem shortens the cash cycle and lets you prove the model before committing to travel or contract placements.
No, but being one is a genuine advantage in recruiting and in credibility with facilities. It is why nurse-owned agencies win nurses.
It converts your invoices to cash at a cost. Sometimes it is the difference between growing and stalling. Worth a Report before you sign anything.
Fifteen minutes with a fellow nurse who has built nurse-led businesses, not a coach. The prices are already on this page, so the call is not a pitch.
