Buy and sell
Acquisitions and disposals of CQC and Ofsted registered businesses in England, handled discreetly and matched by a person rather than a search box. Your business is never publicly listed without your written approval.
A care business is not bought on its accounts alone. It is bought on its registration, its manager, its commissioner relationships and the condition of its evidence. We have seen deals where the price was fair and the risk was not: a manager about to resign, a rating due to be revisited, occupancy propped up by one framework nobody expected to end.
Our diligence looks where an accountant does not. Registration history and conditions, staffing stability and agency dependence, care plan quality, complaint and safeguarding patterns, the true cost of bringing a service back to standard, and whether the registration can transfer at all in the structure being proposed.
Confidentiality is the whole point. We qualify buyers before your name is used, take a non-disclosure agreement before anything meaningful is shared, and control who sees what and when. Staff, families and commissioners hear about it from you, at the moment you choose.
Only a small, anonymised selection of opportunities is ever shown publicly, and always as reference numbers rather than names.
Serious buyers register their requirement with us and are contacted directly when something fits. That is how the majority of transactions happen.
Register as a buyerRegister the sector, region, size and structure you are looking for. We will come to you when something matches, with diligence support and registration transfer planning included.
A confidential conversation first, a realistic valuation second, and a controlled process after that. Nothing is shared, listed or named without your written approval.
What the business is worth today, what is suppressing that figure, and what could be fixed before you go to market.
The registration, ratings, conditions, notifications and staffing picture behind the numbers.
New provider applications, nominated individual changes and the sequencing that keeps a service running through completion.
Book a confidential call. Nothing leaves the room.
Tell us what you need and we will tell you what is realistic.
