Why care, why now

A fragmented market, built for buy-and-build

Care is one of the most fragmented sectors in the UK, with thousands of small, well-run businesses and owners now reaching retirement. That combination is rare: a deep pool of targets, motivated sellers, and demand that climbs for decades

~1mUK businesses boomer-owned and nearing a change of hands

22m+people over retirement age by the 2070s, driving care demand

127kof those owners are at retirement age with no succession plan

What you get access to

Deal flow you will not find on a broker's shelf

Care Acquire opens a direct channel to owners who want a discreet, serious conversation, not a public listing. You see the opportunity earlier and talk to the person who built it

Off-market opportunities

Much of the deal flow never reaches a public listing. You reach owners who prefer to deal directly and discreetly

Verified sellers only

Every owner is personally checked before they enter the marketplace, so the businesses are real and the intent to sell is genuine

A direct line to the owner

No broker filtering the conversation. You speak to the decision maker and build the relationship that gets a deal done

What it costs

More of the deal stays in the deal

Broker fees quietly raise the real cost of every acquisition. Care Acquire runs on a low monthly subscription plus a 1% commission, far below the 5% to 10% brokers typically charge, so more of your capital goes into the business

1% max

A 1% commission from each side, buyer and seller. A portion is taken at Heads of Terms, the balance on completion, alongside a low monthly subscription. No separate broker commission on top of the purchase

Clear, upfront commissionThe 1% is all you pay us

Better unit economicsLower cost per acquisition at scale

Good to know

Questions buyers ask

What does it cost to buy through Care Acquire?

Both the buyer and the seller pay a 1% commission. A portion of this is taken at Heads of Terms, with the balance on completion, plus a low monthly subscription. There is no separate broker commission layered on top, so the total is a fraction of the 5% to 10% a broker typically charges.

Are the sellers verified?

Yes. Every seller is personally verified before they enter the marketplace, so the businesses you see are real and the owners are genuinely looking to sell.

Can I find off-market opportunities?

Much of the deal flow on Care Acquire is off-market, from owners who want a direct, discreet conversation rather than a public listing with a broker.

Is Care Acquire suited to buy-and-build?

Care is a highly fragmented sector, which makes it well suited to buy-and-build and roll-up strategies. Care Acquire gives you a steady, verified channel of businesses to assess.
