Investing in Crestwood Care Ltd
Crestwood Care Ltd offers flexible investment opportunities for individuals and organisations looking to participate in the UK’s growing health and social care sector. You can invest either by becoming a shareholder in the parent company or by operating a Crestwood Care franchise in an agreed territory.
Your choice depends on whether you prefer to invest in and help shape the wider business, or to run a care service locally using an established brand and operating model.
Become a Shareholder
Becoming a shareholder in Crestwood Care Ltd allows you to invest directly in the parent company and participate in its long-term growth and strategic direction.
What this means
You invest an agreed sum into Crestwood Care Ltd in exchange for a defined percentage of shares. Your shareholding may entitle you to:
- A proportionate share of profits or losses
- Voting rights (subject to share class and shareholder agreement)
- Your name being recorded at Companies House as a shareholder
Involvement & roles
- You may be appointed as a director (by mutual agreement)
- You may take an operational, advisory, or strategic role

- Professionals who can add value through networks, skills, or experience
Shareholder arrangements are governed by a formal Shareholders’ Agreement, defining rights, responsibilities, dividend approach, and exit terms.
