# Conaghan & Company

Conaghan & Company is a specialist healthcare corporate finance and consulting firm based in London, focused exclusively on the care sector. They provide tailored financial and strategic advisory services to operators, investors and lenders across retirement living, social care and complex care environments.

The firm distinguishes itself through deep sector specialisation rather than generalist investment banking. Their expertise spans the full spectrum of care provision—from independent retirement communities and elderly residential homes to specialist facilities for learning disabilities, mental health and forensic psychiatric care. This focused approach enables them to understand the operational complexities and financial dynamics unique to each care subsector.

Their service offering combines traditional corporate finance with bespoke consulting. They advise on equity and debt financing solutions for acquisitions and development projects, provide M&A advisory services, and deliver post-transaction reporting. Beyond transactional work, they conduct technically-driven data analysis and research, producing practical modelling and analytics that serve both operators seeking to optimise performance and financial stakeholders evaluating investment opportunities.

The business model demonstrates genuine sector commitment: they work solely in care, serving both independent and public sector clients, and maintain Financial Conduct Authority authorisation and regulation. This specialisation attracts sophisticated clients seeking advisors who genuinely understand care economics, regulatory considerations and the distinctive business models reshaping UK care provision.
