Domiciliary care, supported living, or a medical practice — each already incorporated, branded, and CQC-ready. Registered at Companies House, CQC-ready — not yet CQC registered.
Yes — you can buy a UK care business that is already set up and ready to operate. Zundara offers three ready-made care companies: a domiciliary care agency, a supported living business, and a medical practice. Each is incorporated at Companies House, fully branded with a live website and operational documentation, and CQC-ready (registered at Companies House, CQC-ready — not yet CQC registered). You take majority ownership and run it as your own, with the cost spread as a staged handover rather than a single lump-sum purchase.
The proof is public. Every company below is on the live Companies House register and has a working website you can open right now — so you can confirm what you are buying before you express any interest.

Different operators want different things. "Buy a care business" can mean a home-care agency, a residential supported living service, or a clinical practice. Zundara prepares all three as distinct, ready-made companies so you can choose the model that matches your experience and ambition.
Domiciliary care — often searched as "buy a care agency" — delivers support to people in their own homes. The ready-made vehicle is Wrenbury Care Services Ltd (company number 17031767), Active at Companies House and CQC-ready. It comes with branding, a live website at wrenburycare.co.uk, and the operational documentation a home-care provider needs to begin trading. If you want lower property overheads and a scalable, visit-based model, this is the care business to buy.
Supported living provides accommodation-based support to adults who need help to live independently. The ready-made vehicle is Hearthstone Supported Living Ltd (company number 17028948), Active at Companies House and CQC-ready, with branding and a live site at hearthstoneliving.co.uk. This is the care company to buy if you want a place-based service with longer-term resident relationships.
For clinically-led operators, Ashgrove Medical Practice Ltd (company number 17029872) is a ready-made medical practice company — Active at Companies House and CQC-ready, with branding and a live website at ashgrovemedical.co.uk. It is the care business to buy if your plan is a primary or private clinical service rather than social care.
Whichever you choose, the status is identical and stated plainly: registered at Companies House, CQC-ready — not yet CQC registered. You complete CQC registration as the incoming owner, and we provide the documentation and support to make that path clear.
A traditional "care home business for sale" usually means an existing operation with clients, staff, a CQC history, and whatever liabilities came before you. You pay a large price up front and inherit everything — the good and the bad.
A Zundara care business is different. You take ownership of a clean, purpose-built company that has never traded, so there is no inherited debt, no legacy staff disputes, and no historic compliance record working against you. What you get instead is a complete foundation: the incorporated company, the brand, the website, and the operational documentation, all built and ready.
The result is the speed and certainty of buying a care company that already exists, without the risk profile of buying someone else's trading history.
| Factor | Traditional care business for sale | Zundara ready-made care company |
|---|---|---|
| Company history | Inherited — debt, disputes, records | Clean — never traded |
| Payment | Large lump sum up front | Staged handover, spread as you go |
| Verification | Due diligence on past accounts | Public Companies House numbers you can check yourself |
| CQC status | Inherited rating (could be poor) | CQC-ready — you register fresh |
Bottom line: if you want to buy a care business in the UK and start from a strong, verifiable position rather than inherit someone else's problems, a ready-made CQC-ready company is the cleaner route.
This is a staged handover, not a one-off purchase — the cost is spread as you go, never all at once. There is no single large price tag to find before you can own a care business. We walk through the numbers on the call, matched to the specific company you want and your situation.
That structure is the whole point: it makes owning a care business achievable without a lump-sum acquisition, while keeping you in majority control from handover.
Yes. Zundara offers UK care businesses that are already incorporated at Companies House and CQC-ready — meaning the company, branding, website and operational documentation are built and ready, though not yet CQC registered. You can choose a domiciliary care company, a supported living business, or a medical practice. You take majority ownership and run it as your own.
Three asset types are available: a domiciliary (home care) company such as Wrenbury Care Services Ltd, company number 17031767; a supported living business such as Hearthstone Supported Living Ltd, company number 17028948; and a medical practice such as Ashgrove Medical Practice Ltd, company number 17029872. All three are Active at Companies House and CQC-ready.
In this case, yes. Rather than buying a trading care home with existing clients and liabilities, you take ownership of a clean, purpose-built company that is registered at Companies House and CQC-ready. There is no inherited debt, no legacy staff disputes, and no historic compliance baggage — just a complete, ready-to-operate foundation.
It is a staged handover, not a one-off purchase — the cost is spread as you go, never all at once. We walk through the numbers on the call. This is deliberately different from a traditional acquisition where you pay a large lump sum up front for an existing operation.
No. Each company is registered at Companies House and CQC-ready — not yet CQC registered. The corporate entity, branding, policies and operational documentation are prepared so the business is ready to begin the CQC registration process, but registration with the Care Quality Commission is completed by you as the incoming owner.
Yes, and we encourage it. Each company appears on the public Companies House register: Hearthstone Supported Living Ltd (17028948), Wrenbury Care Services Ltd (17031767) and Ashgrove Medical Practice Ltd (17029872). You can search any of these numbers at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk and visit the live websites yourself before expressing interest.
A care agency typically means domiciliary (home) care, delivering support to people in their own homes — that maps to Wrenbury Care Services Ltd. A care home or supported living service provides accommodation-based support, which maps to Hearthstone Supported Living Ltd. Zundara offers both models plus a medical practice, so you choose the care business that matches your plan.
