What to look for when selecting an advisor for your business sale.
How do you value a domiciliary care business?
The valuation of a domiciliary care business is a complex process that goes beyond simple financial metrics. While we do consider traditional valuation methods such as a multiple of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization) we also take into account a wide range of other factors that are specific to the care sector. These include the quality of your CQC reports the mix of your client base (private vs. local authority) the length and security of your client contracts and the experience and stability of your management team. We also look at the growth potential of your business including the demand for your services in your local area and the opportunities to expand into new geographical areas or service lines. Our data-driven approach ensures that we provide you with a realistic and achievable valuation that reflects the true worth of your business.
What is the process for selling my business with DealFlowAgent?
Our process is designed to be as streamlined and stress-free as possible. It starts with a confidential and no-obligation discussion about your business and your objectives. If you decide to proceed we will then prepare a detailed Information Memorandum that showcases the strengths of your business to potential buyers. We will then approach a carefully selected list of potential buyers from our network of 13,000+ acquirers. We will manage the entire negotiation process on your behalf ensuring that you receive the best possible price and terms. Once a deal has been agreed we will work with you and your legal team to ensure a smooth and timely completion. Our success-fee only model means that you only pay us when the deal is done.
How do you ensure confidentiality?
We understand that confidentiality is of the utmost importance when selling a domiciliary care business. We take a number of steps to protect your business your staff and your clients from any disruption. All potential buyers are required to sign a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before they receive any sensitive information about your business. We also ensure that all communications with potential buyers are handled discreetly and professionally. We will never disclose the name or location of your business without your prior consent. Our process is designed to ensure that you can continue to run your business as normal while we work to find the right buyer for you.
What kind of buyers do you work with?
We work with a wide range of buyers from large national providers to smaller independent operators. Our network of 13,000+ acquirers includes private equity firms family offices and trade buyers who are all actively looking to invest in the domiciliary care sector. We take the time to understand the specific requirements of each buyer so that we can match you with the right partner for your business. Whether you are looking for a buyer who can help you to grow your business or one who will continue to run it with the same values and ethos as you we can help you to find the perfect match.
How long does it take to sell a domiciliary care business?
The timescale for selling a domiciliary care business can vary depending on a number of factors including the size and complexity of your business the current market conditions and the specific requirements of the buyer. However our streamlined process is designed to ensure a timely completion. On average it takes between 12 and 16 weeks from the initial instruction to the completion of the sale. We will keep you updated on the progress of the sale every step of the way and we will do everything we can to ensure a smooth and stress-free process.

I could not have asked for better support. They found the perfect buyer and secured terms that exceeded my expectations.

"I built and sold my own company after scaling it to 80,000+ users and raising over £2M in funding. The exit process was painful, expensive, and completely opaque. I knew other business owners deserved better."
I built and sold my own company after scaling it to 80,000+ users and raising over £2M in funding. The exit process was painful, expensive, and completely opaque. I knew other business owners deserved better.
So I set out to modernise the way businesses are sold. We have now advised on 22 sales, built a network of over 12,500 registered acquirers, and we are the only AI-enabled M&A firm with this proprietary technology and data. We are highly specialised in building services, facilities management, and healthcare, and that is all we do.
Before DealFlowAgent, I spent years in the trenches of high-growth startups, learning what it takes to build, scale, and ultimately sell a business. That firsthand experience — the sleepless nights, the difficult conversations, the elation of getting it done — means I understand what our clients are going through on a level that most advisors simply cannot.
There is nothing better than a founder calling to say they have paid off their mortgage, sorted their children's school fees, or are ringing from a three-week holiday in the Maldives. That is why we do this.
On a personal note: 30 years old, grew up in Surrey, Crystal Palace supporter (sorry), and proud owner of Willow, an English Spaniel who is far more popular than I am. I also make a very good lasagne, if that helps.
