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.
Calibrated on the public UK care-sector due-diligence checklists buyers actually use — across 8 areas and 96 checkpoints. The sources behind it, and how the AI reaches its conclusions, are set out openly on our sources & method page.

Why ExitSignal
The other route into this preparation costs several tens of thousands of pounds.
Sell-side specialists — transaction consultants and brokers' preparation teams — do this work expertly, and their fees for preparing a care home for sale typically run to several tens of thousands of pounds. A worthwhile investment for a major transaction; out of reach for the many owners who simply want to know where they stand before deciding anything.
ExitSignal was built for that owner. The same preparation thinking — what buyers examine, what evidence they will ask for, what to fix first — as a structured, plain-English programme for £495, with the first three steps free. Indicative and preparatory: it is not a substitute for the professional advice you will want before completing a sale, and every place real judgement is needed, it names the professional.

The first three steps cost nothing and commit you to nothing — a real read on your readiness before any money changes hands.
Then, if you want the full buyer-grade report: £495, one-off, per home.
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.
