Selling a care home? top tips for selling a care home

22 Jul 2025

Earlier this month, we published a detailed guide on the key considerations when selling a care home. Here are some key takeaways to make sure you are well prepared.


  1. Have your records in good order - an organised system typically ensure a smooth due diligence process.
  2. What financial structure is best for you - a company/share sale or a business sale? Whatever that may be, the sale documents should reflect the terms agreed and protect your position.
  3. Review your key contracts - is there anything that would prevent a sale without third party consent?
  4. Regulatory Compliance - check that the business is compliant with all health and safety, employment, and care standards regulations to avoid any delays and complications in the sale process.

The end result - swimming off into the sunset or thinking of a new venture? Make sure the sale documents allow you to pursue your future plans.

Engaging a competent team of legal advisors, financial professionals, and regulatory experts throughout the process is crucial to ensure a smooth and legally compliant transaction.  So don’t take a risk, take advice!
