I had already agreed to purchase the care home and was comfortable with the price. Contracts were due to be exchanged within hours. As a final precaution, I engaged MyCareBusiness to conduct an operational due diligence review.

They identified regulatory and structural risks that had not been properly addressed and explained how these could affect valuation, compliance exposure, and future stability. The findings were clear, commercially grounded, and difficult to ignore.

Armed with that insight, I renegotiated immediately and secured a £20,000 reduction before signing. Their involvement more than paid for itself and likely prevented longer-term complications I had not anticipated.

— Acquisition Client

We were running a growing domiciliary care service, but cashflow friction was quietly destabilising us. Staff regularly requested pay advances, fuel shortages were affecting shifts, and our accounts team was constantly managing payroll tension.

We paid monthly and couldn’t sustainably move to weekly payroll. MyCareBusiness introduced a structured solution that allowed carers to access earned wages daily without impacting our payroll system or increasing operational costs.

The result was immediate stability. Advance requests stopped, missed shifts reduced, and morale improved — all without additional financial pressure on the business. It was a simple solution we had never considered.
