Resale Overview

This Home Instead business represents a premium investment opportunity within the Home Instead network. Established in 2014, the current owner has distinguished themselves through an unwavering commitment to quality, recently securing the coveted Care Quality Commission (CQC) ‘Outstanding’
rating.

The business is financially robust and highly scalable, demonstrating exceptional resilience by doubling its monthly revenue from £60k to £120k during the pandemic. With the most recent fiscal year proving to be the most successful in its tenure, the franchise currently ranks in the top 20 for growth
nationally within Home Instead, with a clear trajectory to enter the top 10 under new ownership.

A defining characteristic of the business is its operational autonomy, significantly reducing transition risk for an incoming owner. The business is not reliant on the current owner for day-to-day functioning; instead, they operate on a strategic level with a limited schedule, focusing on culture and oversight rather than daily tasks.

The operational core is driven by a tenured management team, led by an Operations Manager
with seven years of service in the role (previously Care Manager for the current owner) who handles critical financial functions including payroll and invoicing, while driving sales with a 60% Care Consultation conversion rate. This structure is reinforced by a strict organisational policy ensuring every Key Player role is coverable by at least two staff members, alongside a robust, outsourced recruitment pipeline that consistently delivers high calibre Care Professionals.
