The Proposition

What "free business" actually means

Most companies you can buy "ready-made" are empty corporate shells with a Companies House number and nothing else. What we hand over is the opposite: a registered company with a working website, a branded business identity, professional email and phone, and a complete operational documentation pack — between 150 and 400 documents depending on the sector. The business is ready to start trading the week the operator takes over.

Take Hearthstone Supported Living Ltd as an example.

Companies House registration number 17028948. Status: active. Registered in Chelmsford. A supported living provider for adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs. The company exists. The website is live. The full 204-document operational pack is ready — including the CQC compliance matrix, statement of purpose, 40 care policies, full HR pack, three-year financial model, and complete brand identity. A new operator can submit their CQC application the same week they take over. They can take their first resident within 60–90 days.

The Process

How it works

01

Apply

You apply for a specific venture through our site. The application includes background, your why, sector preference, and a £250 application fee held by authorisation. The fee is captured only if we proceed with you; it's released if you're not selected.

02

We vet

We respond within 72 hours. If we want to proceed, we book a 45-minute fit conversation to assess capacity, intent, and venture match. Either of us can decline at any point.

03

Handover

If we both move forward, we hand over the company, the domain, the website, the email, the phone, the documentation. You sign the agreements and the 24-month infrastructure contract starts.

04

You operate

The business is yours. You run it, grow it, and one day sell it. We're alongside throughout — strategic guidance, operational support, regulatory advice — as your 12% partner.

The Exchange

What you receive and what you pay

What you receive

A registered limited company in your name. A working website on the company's own domain, already live and professionally designed for the sector. Business email accounts on that domain. A business phone number with voicemail and call routing. The complete operational documentation pack — between 150 and 400 documents depending on sector. Brand identity, marketing assets, financial model, business plan, sector-specific regulatory documentation. Ongoing platform support for as long as you operate on our infrastructure.

What you pay

Nothing for the business itself. £0 / €0 / $0 — the company is yours after selection.

£250 application fee, held by authorisation when you apply, captured only if we proceed to fit conversation, released if you're not selected.

£179 per month for light-regulatory ventures, or £199 per month for heavily regulated sectors like care, medical, or aviation — paid by direct debit on a 24-month contract from handover. That's the platform infrastructure your business runs on.

No purchase price for the business. No royalties on your revenue. No franchise fees. No territory restrictions.

Selection

Who we back

We back operators with a strong motivation and the willingness to be coached. Prior expertise in the sector helps but isn't required. Our binding principle: if the why is good enough, the how can be learned. We work with career-changers as readily as career-extenders.

This works best for: care professionals moving into private operation; healthcare professionals opening their own practice; diaspora professionals abroad who want a UK operating business they can run remotely; visa-route applicants who need a credible operating business; and people in any industry who've decided this is what they want to do next.

We're selective. We retain 12% in every venture, and that stake only has value if the operator is capable. We turn down applicants who don't fit. We turn down ventures that don't fit applicants. The selection process is what makes the partnership work.

About Zundara

A venture-cultivation platform.

Zundara builds operating businesses and partners with the operators who run them. We retain a minority stake in each venture, and each business runs on our OctusCloud platform. We're not a formation agent, a shelf company seller, a coaching programme, or a course. We build real, substantively documented businesses and partner with the operators we cultivate.
