Selling a homecare business in the UK

Selling a care business involves more than finding someone willing to buy it. Buyers consider revenue, profit, staffing, care quality, contracts and operating risks.

Vendraa starts by preparing management information and agreeing a credible valuation before introducing qualified buyers.

A different way to sell homecare businesses

We only sell homecare businesses. We know why sales go wrong.

Our team has been involved in more than 60 proposed homecare business sale transactions, giving us first-hand insight into why proposed sales can stall. That experience showed us the same recurring problems: incomplete financial and operational information, unrealistic valuations, protracted processes and the disruption a proposed sale can cause to a care team. We built Vendraa to do it differently.

If you're selling a homecare or domiciliary care business, you deserve a clear valuation, a properly prepared sale and a process designed around completion — not just a listing.

No fees upfrontWe do not charge sellers upfront. Our standard selling commission is payable only on successful completion, under the agreed terms.
No inflated asking pricesWe don't begin by asking what you hope to receive. We examine trading performance, costs, operational risks and what a qualified buyer is likely to pay.
No surprise marketing extrasEmails, buyer outreach and agreed marketing activity are included in our success-based commission — no separate sponsored-promotion charges.

How we sell your business

  1. Understand and valueCollect and analyse operational and financial information, including adjustments a buyer will make to earnings.
  2. Prepare the complete buyer packOrganise the management information, key contracts and documents that buyers and their advisers need for due diligence.
  3. Agree the structure and timescalesSet out the proposed transaction structure, expectations and practical milestones with you.
  4. Approach prequalified buyersIntroduce the opportunity discreetly to buyers with a credible capacity to transact.
  5. Maintain an agreed timetableCoordinate information requests, negotiations and due-diligence milestones.
  6. See the sale throughWork alongside your chosen professional advisers to support the transaction through completion.
  7. Protect your team and continuity of carePlan communication and change carefully, recognising that staff retention and care quality are central to business value.
  8. Avoid unnecessary disruptionKeep the sale confidential and well managed; an unsuccessful process can unsettle staff and weaken the business.

Why preparation matters. In our team's experience, a substantial proportion of proposed transactions fail to complete. We have seen how a poorly managed sale can leave a care business worse off. We designed our process to reduce those avoidable risks — without promising that every transaction will complete.

We only get paid when your business sells. There is no fee to begin the process, and we do not charge separately for agreed buyer emails or sponsored marketing. Any commission and scope are agreed in writing before work begins.

What is buyer-adjusted EBITDA? An owner who is also an unpaid Registered Manager may need to be replaced at a market-rate cost. Genuine non-recurring or personal costs may sometimes be added back. Vendraa reviews both sides rather than assuming reported profit is the buyer’s profit. Request a Buyer-Adjusted EBITDA review.
