This very significant business was established by our clients over 10 years ago and provides twenty-four hour residential care for children between the ages of ten and eighteen with emotional and behavioural difficulties. With many years of residential childcare experience behind them the vendor and his team vehemently believe that small, non-institutionalised children's homes that cater for 1 - 2 young people and offer a safe, nurturing environment are the best way to help and support vulnerable and damaged young people and set up this business to provide such a service.

Centrally based in Staffordshire the business presently operates 5 safe homes that offer semi-independent training in life skills, preparing young people for their move to future independent living. All the residential units are in superb condition and well equipped and meet all the necessary regulations and guidance notes as you would expect from an award winning organisation such as this. The business currently cares for 5 children and is also registered for siblings care, which means it could accommodate up to 9 if siblings groups were available.

All homes are registered by Ofsted/Care Commission and this business has been awarded either “Outstanding” or “Good” ratings thus demonstrating a high standard of accommodation and childcare. The business also holds UK ISO9001/ ICM Certification and it is also a member of The Federation OF Small Businesses.

This is a professionally managed, profitable company with a well-established and highly trained caring workforce. All staff are full time and fully committed to their roles so much so that the business does NOT need to utilise agency staff.

Expansion Potential
There is a significant and growing demand for this specialized residential care. The business has a clear strategy for growth based on the absolute knowledge of increasing demand for its unique services. There is a consistent/ growing demand for beds.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has never had the need to advertise such is the demand for its care services. It does have an informative website that it built on the request of social services so the children had a reference point to look at.
