Reviews from Businesses like Yours
The UK adult social care sector employs 1.52 million people, according to Skills for Care — operating across more than 17,700 CQC-registered care home locations. Staff costs represent over 60% of care home operating expenditure, and many operators face payment delays from local authority commissioners alongside rising CQC compliance requirements. A business funding advance gives care home operators fast access to working capital, without a personal guarantee.
Care Home Business Funding Advance
Got Capital provides unsecured business funding advances from £2,000 to £300,000 for care home operators, residential care businesses, and adult social care providers across the UK. A funding decision is made in as little as one hour, and the advance can be in your account within 24 hours — without requiring a personal guarantee.
Why Care Home Businesses Need Flexible Funding
Care homes carry high fixed costs that run regardless of occupancy, funding cycles, or the pace at which commissioners settle invoices. Staffing — the single largest cost line — must be maintained around the clock, seven days a week. Registered nurses, care workers, and support staff must be paid on time. Agency staff, used to cover rota gaps and sickness, add further cost at unpredictable intervals.
Local authority funding creates a particular cash flow challenge. The majority of care home placements in England are funded partly or wholly by local authorities. Local authority payment cycles do not always align with the weekly or fortnightly payroll demands that care operators face. The gap between care delivered and fees received can stretch to several weeks.
CQC regulatory requirements impose additional costs. Ongoing compliance — staff training, DBS checks, inspection preparation, care plan documentation systems, and medication management — requires continuous investment. Failing to maintain compliance standards is not an option; the cost of non-compliance is the loss of the CQC registration on which the entire business depends.
Building upgrades and maintenance represent a further pressure point. Older care home properties require continuous investment to meet evolving fire safety, infection control, and accessibility standards. This capital expenditure arrives unpredictably and often cannot wait.

Yes — Got Capital provides business funding advances suited to care home operators, residential care businesses, and adult social care providers. To qualify, your business needs to be UK-registered, have been trading for at least 3 months, and generate a minimum of £5,000 in monthly revenue. Decisions are based on your business health rather than your personal credit score, and no personal guarantee is required. Advances range from £2,000 to £300,000, with funds reaching your account within 24 hours.
Got Capital can issue a funding decision in as little as one hour. Once approved, funds are typically deposited into your business account within 24 hours.

The entire application is completed online with no business plan or personal guarantee required.
Yes — these are among the most common uses of a Got Capital advance for care home operators. Care must be delivered and staff paid regardless of when commissioners settle invoices, and an advance gives you the working capital to meet payroll obligations on time. CQC compliance is a continuous cost — staff training, DBS renewals, documentation systems, and audit preparation cannot be deferred. Building maintenance to meet fire safety, accessibility, and infection control standards also requires capital that often cannot wait. There are no restrictions on how the funds are deployed within your care operation.
A traditional business loan is a credit agreement. Interest accrues over the loan term, and fixed monthly instalments are due on a set schedule. Got Capital’s advance works differently: a single, fixed factor fee is agreed upfront, so you know the total cost before you commit. There is no interest that accrues over time and no variable rate. You settle the advance as a proportion of your future revenue. No personal guarantee is required to secure the funding advance.
No. Got Capital does not require a personal guarantee from any business that takes an advance. A personal guarantee would make you personally liable if the business could not settle — putting your home, savings, and personal assets at risk. Got Capital’s advances are unsecured: your personal financial position is not used as security, and no personal assets are put at risk in order to secure the funding advance.
Yes — a Got Capital advance is specifically designed to work with businesses whose income arrives unevenly. Local authority funding cycles, occupancy fluctuations, and delayed commissioner settlement can all create gaps between costs incurred and income received. Settlement is structured as a proportion of your future revenue. This makes a Got Capital advance well suited to care home operators whose income varies with occupancy and commissioner payment timing.
Yes. Many of the care home operators funded by Got Capital have previously been declined by a high street bank. Banks assess applications primarily on credit scores, security, and rigid eligibility criteria that often disadvantage social care businesses. Got Capital assesses the health of your operation — your monthly revenue, trading history, and how your business runs. If your care home is UK-registered, generates at least £5,000 per month, and has been trading for at least 3 months, your application will be reviewed on its own merits. Previous bank declines are not a barrier.
