About 5 Star Networking Group

Good intentions don't scale — systems do. We help businesses build the operations, policies, and procedures that let them grow without chaos.

New — Startup Packages
Start your business — in a box, or fully turnkey
Three ways to launch with 5 Star behind you. Business in a Box gives you the complete do-it-yourself startup kit — the idea, the plan, and the strategy, all in one package. The Turnkey Home Care Startup Package goes further: everything in the kit, plus hands-on help finding your location, complete setup support, and one-on-one coaching while you launch your non-medical home care business. And if you want us to handle literally everything, the All-in-One option below does exactly that.
Business in a Box
Your whole startup, planned out in one kit. Go from idea to open doors with a validated business idea, a filled-in business plan, and a 90-day launch strategy that tells you exactly what to do and when — no guesswork, no blank pages.
$297 one-time · digital kit
- Business idea guide + validation worksheet
- Fill-in-the-blank business plan
- 90-day launch strategy & action plan
- Startup checklist — LLC, licenses, bank account & more
- Simple financial projections starter
- Marketing launch plan
Turnkey Home Care Startup Package
Launch your own non-medical home health care business with 5 Star guiding you step by step. This is our most hands-on package: we help you find the right location, set the whole business up properly, and coach you personally through the launch.
$2,500 one-time · premium package
- Everything in Business in a Box — idea guide, business plan, 90-day strategy, startup checklist, projections & marketing plan
- We find you a business location
- We set up all your basic procedures
- We set up your workplace policies
- Complete business setup support
- One-on-one coaching throughout your launch
What the $2,500 covers — and what it doesn’t: The $2,500 covers guidance, setup support, and one-on-one coaching from 5 Star. It does not include building rent or lease costs, utilities and other costs of that nature, or materials — those are separate costs you cover. If you want us to handle everything — a full done-for-you setup — you will also provide the funds for office equipment and other startup costs separately.
Financing available — ask about options. Don’t have it all up front? We offer financing choices on this package. Please note: 5 Star retains ownership of everything provided — the setup, equipment, and materials — until your package is paid off in full. Once it’s paid in full, it’s yours.
All-in-One Home Care Startup
Our highest level of the Turnkey package: you make one decision, and 5 Star handles literally everything else — start to finish. No running around, no piecing it together yourself. We find it, secure it, set it up, and hand you a business that is ready to open.
Custom Quote priced after consultation · building & startup costs vary
- Everything in the Turnkey Home Care Startup Package — the full Business in a Box kit, procedures, policies, complete setup, and one-on-one coaching
- We find your business location
- We secure the building for you
- We handle the complete setup, start to finish
- We set up all your basic procedures and workplace policies
- Office equipment — sourced and handled for you
- Materials — sourced and handled for you
How All-in-One pricing works: There is no fixed price, because building rent and lease costs, equipment, and materials vary too much from one launch to the next. After a consultation, we give you a custom quote — and you fund all costs through the package: the building, equipment, materials, and setup. 5 Star handles arranging and doing the work; you simply fund it, and we take care of the rest.
Financing available — ask about options. Don’t have it all up front? We offer financing choices on this package. Please note: 5 Star retains ownership of everything provided — the setup, equipment, and materials — until your package is paid off in full. Once it’s paid in full, it’s yours.

New — Documentation Services
Work instructions, policies & business documents — ready-made or custom-built
Every business needs clear documents: how work gets done, what’s expected, and what the rules are. Most owners don’t have time to write them from scratch. Now you don’t have to — choose a ready-made template and make it yours, or let 5 Star create custom documents built around your business.
Template Library — buy & customize
Professionally written templates you can put to work right away. Each one is fully editable — add your business name, adjust the details, and you’re done. Best if you want a fast, affordable head start.
- Instant starting point — no blank page
- Fully editable to fit your business
- Clear, professional wording throughout
- $49 per template — or all four for $149 (save $47)
Custom Documents — done for you
Need documents written specifically for your business, your team, and how you actually operate? This is a separate, done-for-you service: we interview you, draft the documents, review them with you, and deliver finished, ready-to-use files.
- Written for your business — not generic
- Work instructions & SOPs for your real processes
- Policies matched to your workplace & team
- Review & revision included before final delivery
What’s in the template library
Four ready-made templates in 5 Star’s black-and-gold professional style — $49 each, or get all four in the bundle for $149. The descriptions below show each template’s style and what’s inside; the editable document itself is delivered after purchase. Every template can also be created custom for your business. Tap any template card and its purchase prompt opens right below the library, with the price and next steps.
Template Purchase
The Complete Template Bundle — All Four
$149 for all four templates
All four templates together — handbook, SOP, work instruction, and workplace policies — for one consistent documentation system across your whole business. Every template shares the same black-and-gold professional style, so your handbook, procedures, work instructions, and policies look like one system — because they are. Buying the bundle saves $47 versus purchasing each template separately.
- Employee Handbook Template
- Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Template
- Work Instruction Template
- Workplace Policy Template
- One consistent style across all four
- Save $47 vs. buying separately
Online checkout is almost ready
We’re finalizing secure online card checkout. To buy right now, email us and we’ll complete your order personally and send your editable template(s) with setup guidance.

How custom documents work

3

Not sure which you need?
Start with templates if you need documents fast and your processes are fairly standard. Choose custom if your work is specialized, you have a team to train, or you want it handled for you. Email corporate@5starnetworking.group and we’ll recommend the right fit — or book a consultation.
Please note: 5 Star templates and custom documents are business documents, not legal advice. For legally binding policies, we recommend a quick review by your attorney.
New — Employer Services
Help for employers: hiring, HR & onboarding
Hiring the right people — and setting them up to succeed — takes time most business owners don’t have. 5 Star Employer Services gives you practical, hands-on support across the whole employee journey, from posting the job to a new hire’s first weeks. Every engagement is consultation-based and quoted to your business — no off-the-shelf pricing, because no two teams are alike.

- Resume screening & shortlist support
- Interview questions & process setup
- Offer & new-hire paperwork coordination

- Employee handbooks — template or custom-built
- Workplace policies that set clear expectations
- Work instructions & SOPs for your team
- Links straight to our document template library
Employee Onboarding
A new hire’s first days decide whether they stay. We build a structured onboarding experience so every new team member starts organized, welcomed, and clear on what’s expected.
- Onboarding plans & first-week checklists
- New-hire paperwork, organized & complete
- First 30 days expectations & milestones
- Training schedules & introductions
- Check-ins that catch problems early
Not sure where to start?
Most employers start with one conversation. Tell us where it hurts — finding people, keeping paperwork straight, or getting new hires up to speed — and we’ll recommend the right support and quote it for your business. Email corporate@5starnetworking.group or book a consultation.
New — Ongoing Admin Support
