Curant Care

What Curant Care does

Curant Care (legal entity South Eastern Solutions Limited) is a UK-regulated domiciliary care provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in Maidstone, Kent. The company directly employs 251-500 staff and operates 10+ branches across Kent, East Sussex, London (Lewisham), Bristol & Bath, Edinburgh & Glasgow, and additional Sussex towns. Its core offering is a portfolio of ten in-home care services: dementia care, personal care, elderly care, supported living, respite care, end-of-life care, complex care, companionship, live-in care and overnight care. The company also runs Agency Angels, a staffing solutions sub-brand that supplies temporary healthcare workers to care homes, hospitals, local authorities and the NHS, a Training Academy delivering CPD-accredited induction and refresher courses across 16 mandatory topics, and a Consultancy service.

The business model is service-led and revenue is generated primarily through hourly billable care hours (visiting care priced from £24.00/hour, with 30/45/60-minute visit options) and Agency Angels placements (from £13/hour). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via branch-based consultative sales (free home assessments, ongoing care reviews) augmented by approved-provider relationships with at least seven Kent/East Sussex local authorities and the NHS, plus community channels including homecare.co.uk reviews, Facebook and Instagram. Customers are individuals with dementia, the elderly, people with complex medical needs and isolated individuals, alongside B2B buyers (care homes, hospitals, local authorities) for the staffing line. Curant Care is regulated by the Care Quality Commission across multiple branches and has received the homecare.co.uk Top 20 Home Care Group award in 2023 and 2024, a Top 5 UK ranking from Homecare Insight Magazine in 2023, and the 2024 Kent Care Award.

The company is founder-led under CEO Sibi Kumar (formerly in hospitality, who converted an acquired franchise into the independent Curant Care brand) with Managing Director Lara Ben Aicha (MBA, University of Cardiff) leading day-to-day operations. Curant Care has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; growth to date has been organic, funded internally, and primarily geographic through branch openings and product-line extensions into staffing, training and consultancy.

Emerging players

• Cera Care: Tech-enabled UK home care provider using digital platforms to match carers with clients at scale. Comparable on core home care service but differentiates via technology-led operating model and significantly larger capital base, making it an emerging competitive threat to Curant Care.

Others
