Buyers
Anyone can find a care business for sale. Far fewer people can tell you what the rating history really means, whether the registration will transfer, and what the staffing model will cost you in year two. That is the part we do.
If you are buying a building rather than a business, start at care property instead.
Service types, regions, size, funding mix, appetite for risk and your realistic timescale. We would rather rule things out early than waste your weekends.
We work the register and our seller relationships. You are told about the ones that fit, with an anonymised summary first and the name once an NDA is in place.
Regulatory, operational and commercial review in parallel with your solicitor and accountant. We tell you what we would walk away from.
The deal is only done when the regulator says so. We plan the transfer or new registration from the offer stage, not after exchange.
Policies, governance, manager cover and staff communications ready before completion so the service does not wobble in week one.
Optional. Occupancy, fee rates, rota cost and audit rhythm, so the thing you bought behaves like the thing you modelled.
Fees are scoped per transaction and quoted in writing before we start. We will tell you if we think the work is not worth doing.
No. There is no directory here. You register a brief and we bring you what fits, which is also why sellers are willing to talk to us.
Not automatically. Depending on the structure it is either a change of ownership requiring a new registration or a variation. We plan that route before you offer.
Yes, and we prefer it. We cover the regulatory and operational side and hand them clean questions rather than vague concerns.
That can be the opportunity, if the cause is fixable and priced in. Our turnaround team will tell you honestly whether it is.
No. Registering your brief is free. Advisory work is quoted separately once you know what you actually need.
