Successful Sale of a CQC-Registered Domiciliary Care Business, Kent

Abercorn Business Sales is pleased to announce the successful sale of an established, CQC-registered domiciliary care company based in Rainham, Kent.

The Opportunity

Established in 2024, the business was created to deliver high-quality, compassionate domiciliary care to individuals in Rainham and the surrounding areas. The company was fully operational, with CQC accreditation in place, comprehensive policies and procedures implemented, and a comprehensive compliance framework aligned with regulatory requirements.

Although the business had not yet commenced trading and reported no revenues or liabilities, it represented a rare, clean-entry opportunity for a buyer seeking to enter the rapidly growing UK domiciliary care sector without the delays, costs, and risks typically associated with initial registration and setup.

Market Appeal

Demand for domiciliary care continues to rise due to:

• An ageing population
• Increased preference for home-based care
• Greater reliance by local authorities and the NHS on outsourced care providers

With clear routes to market, including local authority frameworks, private clients, and NHS referrals, the business offered immediate scalability and strong long-term growth potential.

The Buyer

The successful buyer recognised the value of acquiring a debt-free, CQC-approved care provider that could begin trading almost immediately. The existing operational foundations, combined with the ability to recruit staff and secure contracts quickly, made the business an attractive platform for rapid expansion.

The Sale Process

Abercorn worked closely with the seller to:

• Position the business as a turnkey healthcare opportunity
• Clearly articulate its regulatory readiness and growth potential
• Identify and engage serious buyers with sector understanding

Despite the business being pre-revenue, strong buyer interest was generated due to the clarity of the opportunity and the strength of the underlying setup.

Reason for Sale

The sale was prompted by the owner accepting a new professional role, leaving insufficient time to develop the business. Abercorn ensured a smooth and efficient transaction, allowing the seller to exit confidently while passing the opportunity to a motivated new owner.

Conclusion

This transaction demonstrates Abercorn’s expertise in selling healthcare and care-sector businesses, including start-ups and pre-revenue opportunities, where regulatory approvals and operational readiness are key value drivers.

If you are considering selling a care business, whether established or newly registered, Abercorn Business Sales offers:

• No upfront fees
• Free business valuations
• Confidential, professional business sales

We wish both buyer and seller every success now and in the future.
