Frequently Asked Questions
We are interested in acquiring care homes, supported living services, home care agencies, and specialist healthcare facilities that are committed to high-quality care. If your business meets these criteria, we would love to discuss how we can work together. Ideally, your business should have a minimum turnover of £1m and a minimum EBITDA of £100k.
We consider care and supported living businesses that are either distressed (needing a quick sale) or not fully up to our minimum criteria on a case-by-case basis. If the business is distressed and we can see a possible way to turn it around, we can act quickly and work with your liquidators, if necessary. We have the teams & consultants to turn things around quickly.
No, we are not. We buy businesses we are interested in ourselves, and we prefer buying them directly from the business owner. If we are not suitable buyers, or if you are looking for a specific exit that does not align with ours, we can refer you onwards. We are part of over 150-strong M&A network with active professional buyers who may be able to assist.
Our valuation process considers several factors, including your business’s financial performance, quality of care, reputation, market position, assets, liabilities, and future growth potential. We aim to provide a fair and competitive offer based on these considerations.
Absolutely. We handle all transactions with the utmost confidentiality, ensuring your business’s reputation is protected throughout the process. We are also happy to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) if required.
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, but we strive to complete the process as efficiently as possible, typically within a few months from initial consultation to final completion.
We are committed to maintaining – and even improving – the high standards of care that your staff and service users are accustomed to. We work closely with you to ensure a smooth transition, with minimal disruption to your team and clients.
Entrepreneurs relief is an underutilised scheme that can save business owners who are exiting a large amount of tax. It is straightforward to implement, and we will work with you to maximise this. We would also advise that you consult your own accountant or tax advisor.
This can vary. We may require you to stay on temporarily to ensure a smooth transition or prefer a clean break in some cases. The specifics would be agreed upon during negotiations.
