About us

The consultants care business owners actually call when it matters

We are a specialist consultancy for CQC and Ofsted regulated care businesses in England. One team covers the whole life of a service: starting it, keeping it compliant, fixing it when it goes wrong, growing it, and eventually selling it.

  • Regulated care only
  • England
  • Owner led

Alongside you, not above you

Plenty of people will inspect your service and hand you a list. We would rather roll our sleeves up, write the policy, sit in the meeting and take the phone call at seven in the evening when the inspector has just left.

Complete discretion and without judgement.

One brand, one team, one platform

The Care Business Consultants brings together work that used to sit under two names. My Care Business and MCB-Hub have been retired and their services, pricing and client work now run through this single practice.

Why we consolidated

Owners were being asked to work out which of our brands to approach. That is our problem to solve, not theirs. One brand means one route in and one team accountable for the answer.

What carried over

The service catalogue, the fixed fee model, the store and the client portal all moved across. Existing clients keep the same contacts and the same commercial terms.

What changed

A proper multi page website with a page for every service, and a single customer record so that a registration client who later sells a home is recognised as the same person.

How we work

What we do

  • Take the brief and decide who should handle it, rather than sell you a package
  • Quote fixed fees wherever the work can be defined
  • Give you one named contact from start to finish
  • Deliver most defined pieces of work within seven days
  • Say plainly when something is not worth doing

What we are not

  • Not a directory. There are no browsable profiles and no self service listings.
  • Not a jobs board. Managers are introduced with consent, never published.
  • Not a broker who lists first and asks questions later.
  • Not a training company that hands you a certificate and disappears.

Who we work alongside

A lot of our work arrives through professional advisers who need someone who understands regulated care, not just business.

Insolvency practitioners

Continuity of care and regulatory obligations when a provider fails.

Lenders and investors

Regulatory diligence on a proposition before money moves.

Solicitors

The registration route, conditions and transfer mechanics behind the contract.

Accountants and brokers

What a care business is really worth once ratings and staffing are understood.

The company

MCB-HUB Ltd, trading as The Care Business Consultants. Registered in England and Wales, Company No. 13962703. Registered office: Generator Building, Counterslip, Bristol BS1 6BX.

Our regulatory work is England specific because CQC and Ofsted regulate in England. We say so rather than implying a reach we do not have.
