Urgent Care and Walk-In Centres M&A Advisory | UK and US
You’ve built a vital community asset providing essential urgent care from minor injuries to GP out-of-hours services. Now you deserve to understand its true value and secure a premium exit. We specialise in CQC-registered healthcare businesses just like yours.
Before You Speak to Anyone
What Every Urgent Care Owner
You're likely getting calls from buyers and consolidators but it's hard to tell who is a serious qualified acquirer and who is just fishing. We separate the wheat from the chaff so you only speak to buyers who can and will complete a deal.
Without competing offers, there is no leverage. The buyer sets the pace, anchors low, and waits.
Is my urgent care business with its APMS contracts really worth that much?
Valuing an urgent care centre isn't just about revenue. It's about the strength of your NHS 111 partnerships your CQC registration status and the security of your Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) contracts. Generic brokers don't understand this clinical governance landscape – we do.
What happens to my clinical leads and nurse practitioners?
Your team is your greatest asset from the reception staff to your advanced nurse practitioners and clinical leads. A confidential sale process ensures they are protected. The right buyer will value their expertise and invest in their future not replace them.
With the constant NHS commissioning changes is now even the right time to sell?
The integrated care systems (ICS) landscape is always shifting creating both uncertainty and opportunity. We understand these dynamics and can position your business to attract buyers seeking to expand their primary care footprint regardless of the latest commissioning trends. Timing is everything and we know the market.

Choosing the Right M&A Advisor
What to look for when selecting an advisor for your business sale.
How do you value an urgent care business with a mix of NHS and private revenue?
What impact does my CQC rating have on the sale price and process?
How do you ensure confidentiality and prevent my staff and local GPs from finding out about the sale?
Will a buyer want me to stay on after the acquisition? What are my options?
What are the most common deal-breakers for an urgent care centre sale in the UK/US?
8 buyers got in touch with the help of their tech. We ended up completing the sale in 32 days to a serial acquirer.
I could not have asked for better support. They found the perfect buyer and secured terms that exceeded my expectations.
The team guided me through every step. I felt completely supported from first call to completion. I then referred my friend Jennifer, who also sold her company with them.

Close & Protect the Legacy
A senior M&A bench, plus a sector specialist recruited for your industry on every deal.
For every engagement we add a sector specialist from your industry to the core team: a 15–25 year operator or advisor with direct relationships in your niche. Recruited per deal so you get the right fit, not a generalist.
"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.
