Care sector M&A · United Kingdom
I help owners build value in their care business, then sell it to the buyer it is worth most to.
I spent my career on the buying side, acquiring and building businesses for institutional investors, and the last five years of it in care. I know what buyers pay for, what actually moves value, and what matters to an owner beyond the number. Most of what decides all three is settled long before anyone comes to the table.
For most owners this is not only a transaction. It is a business built over decades, with staff and residents in it, and who takes it on matters as much as what they pay. I have been the buyer across the table from families selling the homes they founded. That is a useful thing for the person advising you to have done.
What the business is worth today, where its full potential lies, and what stands between the two.
Then the work of closing that gap, so that when you do come to sell, you are selling the business at its best rather than as it happens to be.
Working out which buyers your business is worth most to, and introducing you to them directly, including the private equity platforms and consolidators that rarely appear in a marketed process. What happens to the business afterwards is part of that judgement.
Preparing everything they need, running a competitive process, and negotiating the structure, not just the headline figure.
For private equity platforms, family-owned groups, REITs and operators growing by acquisition: finding well-run businesses before they reach the market, which is often where the best of them stay.
They tend to move through people who know the owners.
