For care-home owners thinking about selling

How sale-ready is your care home?

When you sell, a buyer's advisers will take apart every corner of your business — CQC standing, finances, staffing, property, contracts, data and governance — looking for reasons to pay less. The gaps you can't see are the ones they price.

You sell once. They do this every week. Owners who walk into due diligence unprepared routinely lose 20–40% of their value to price chips and retrades — or watch a deal collapse after months of work. A single missing fire certificate, an unreconciled CQC rating, an undocumented sleep-in pay position, or a home that can't run without you, is all it takes.

Calibrated on the public UK care-sector due-diligence checklists buyers actually use — across 8 areas and 96 checkpoints.

Your full report — £495

Walk into due diligence already knowing what they'll find — and having fixed it.

Most "readiness" advice tells you what's wrong and leaves you there. Your ExitSignal report does the opposite: it takes every weak spot and walks you through exactly what to build, what goes in it, and how to decide the details for your own numbers — so there's no room for doubt and nothing left to guess.
