Resale Overview

This Home Instead business has enjoyed steady expansion, with a significant growth spurt occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the current owners’ hard work in building the local reputaton the business is being sold with deep and long-standing relationships with Key Referral Partners, all of which would be carefully passed over to a new owner. This provides a steady foundation of word of mouth referrals and beneficial partnership opportunities.

The Senior Leadership Team is highly established and experienced, including the Registered Manager who is capable and keen to step up to the role of Operations Manager as the business scales. The Key Player team’s strength is rooted in the fact that all but one member started as a Care Professional and
advanced through the company.

The loyalty, maturity and stability of the Key Player team is notable. This year there are a few exciting employee milestones: the Trainer is celebrating 15 years, the Care Manager is celebrating 12, the Lead Care Coordinator is celebrating 9, and the Head of Care Professional Experience is celebrating 8. As
well as a highly committed and dedicated team, the business also benefits from long term clients, with the longest receiving care for 9 years.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business with plenty of headroom and clear growth opportunities, built on top of a strong foundation and stable team.
