Zundara sells complete, built, funding-ready businesses so professionals and investors can become business owners without starting from scratch.
Every venture comes fully registered, branded, documented, and operationally prepared — ready to apply for funding and begin trading.
Every year, thousands of capable professionals abandon the idea of business ownership — not because they lack ability, but because the setup is overwhelming.
Regulatory compliance. Company formation. Financial modelling. Policies and procedures. Registration packs. Business plans that satisfy bank managers. Insurance schedules. HR frameworks. Risk registers.
Most people don't even know what half of these are, let alone how to produce them to a professional standard.
The result? The people most capable of running great businesses never start them.
Zundara exists to change that.
We do the part that stops you. You do the part you're good at — running the business.
When you acquire a Zundara venture, you don't receive a template pack or a "how-to" guide. You receive a functioning business foundation.

This is the section that answers the question every visitor asks: "Why wouldn't I just do this myself?"
| What You Need | What It Takes |
|---|---|
| Company formation | 1–2 weeks, £50–200 |
| Business plan (bank-grade) | 4–8 weeks, £2,000–5,000 |
| Financial projections | 2–4 weeks, £1,500–3,000 |
| Sector-specific policies & procedures | 8–16 weeks, £5,000–15,000 |
| HR documentation | 2–4 weeks, £2,000–4,000 |
| Regulatory registration packs (where applicable) | 4–8 weeks, £3,000–8,000 |
| Website, email, phones | 2–4 weeks, £2,000–5,000 |
| Risk management framework | 2–4 weeks, £1,500–3,000 |
| Quality assurance framework | 2–4 weeks, £1,500–3,000 |
| Total — 6 to 12 months | £19,000 – £46,000 in consultant fees alone |
And after spending that time and money, most people still end up with gaps, inconsistencies between documents, and frameworks that don't cross-reference properly — because different consultants don't talk to each other.

No exit restrictions. The company is yours, completely.
The professional services replacement value of a Zundara venture package typically exceeds £50,000–£75,000+ depending on the sector. You acquire it for a fraction of that, and you're operational in weeks rather than months.
Browse our available ventures. Each listing shows the sector, location flexibility, price, projected returns, and what's included. Select the one that matches your experience, interests, and ambition.
▶Purchase the complete venture bundle. We execute the legal transfer: share transfer via stock transfer forms, director appointments at Companies House, domain and website handover, email and phone credentials, full document library via secure portal.
▶Apply for Start Up Loans, government-backed finance, bank loans, or assemble your investor group. Your venture is structured specifically to support funding applications — the documentation does the heavy lifting.
▶Submit any required regulatory applications, secure your premises, recruit your team, and begin trading. You're months ahead of anyone starting from scratch.
You've spent years working in the sector. You know the work. You know the clients. You know you could run a service better than the one you work for. The only thing you've never done is the company setup. That's what we do.
You have capital, connections, and commercial instinct. You want a structured opportunity with clear numbers, not a speculative punt. Zundara ventures come with conservative financial projections, sensitivity analysis under adverse conditions, and debt service coverage ratios that exceed bank requirements.
You want site one to prove the model, then replicate. Our documentation libraries are designed for exactly this — the majority of documents transfer directly to subsequent sites. Your second venture costs significantly less to establish because the operational framework already exists.
You don't want to leave your career. You want an income stream. Zundara ventures can be operated under a hired management model where qualified professionals run day-to-day operations and you provide governance oversight — typically a few hours per month.
You've been told you can't own a business. That's not what the law says. Since December 2020, there is no shareholding restriction on Skilled Worker visa holders — you can own 100% of a UK company. A Zundara venture can be structured with passive ownership and hired management, meaning your visa conditions are unaffected.
Learn what the law actually permits →There are no nationality or residency restrictions on owning a UK limited company. Foreign nationals can be directors and shareholders. You can register, own, and operate a UK company entirely from abroad. A Zundara venture gives you a complete, operational business with a UK registered address, local phone system, professional email, and a full documentation library — all managed by local staff you appoint.
Learn how foreign ownership works →The most common reason funding applications fail is poor documentation. Your Zundara venture comes with every document mapped to the specific questions assessors ask.
Accessibility: High — your documentation library gives you a significant advantage over typical applicants
Accessibility: Medium — your business plan and financial models meet the standard lenders expect
Accessibility: Medium — documentation quality is your differentiator
Accessibility: High — the most accessible route for individuals with limited personal capital
Accessibility: Variable by region and sector
Accessibility: High for eligible age group
Each venture's dedicated page includes a funding section showing exactly how each route applies to that specific business, with the document-to-question mapping that makes applications straightforward.
| Scenario | Your Role | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-Operator | You run the business yourself. Where qualifications are required, you hold (or obtain) them. No external management salary needed. Maximum personal income. | £113,349/yr |
| Group / Syndicate | Multiple people form a group. Directors apply for Start Up Loans individually. Combined funding covers the full startup. Documentation fee shared between members. | £11,972 each |
| Passive With Hired Management | Hire qualified professionals to run operations. You provide governance oversight — board meetings, financial reviews, strategic decisions. | £59,860/yr |
| Portfolio Builder | Acquire site one. Prove the model. Replicate. The documentation library is designed for reuse — each additional site costs significantly less to establish. | £193,946 (3 sites) |
| Foreign / Remote Ownership | You live outside the UK. You own the company. You appoint local directors and managers. You receive dividends. No residency requirement on company ownership. | £59,860/yr |
Each venture's dedicated page includes worked numbers for the scenarios that apply to that specific sector.
Every Zundara venture includes 12 months of managed infrastructure. After that, choose the support tier that fits your operation.
All phone usage across all tiers is consumption-based — you pay for the minutes you use, at competitive rates. No inflated bundles.
Based on venture financial models and typical buyer structures.
A registered nurse with 12 years' NHS experience wanted to run her own supported living service but had never set up a company. She acquired a Zundara venture, applied for a Start Up Loan as a sole director (£25,000), topped up with a small bank loan, and submitted her CQC registration within 6 weeks of purchase.
Her application was approved in 14 weeks. She accepted her first placement within a month of registration. By month 8, she was operating at 3 of 4 beds. By month 14, she was at full occupancy and earning more than double her NHS salary.
"I'd been thinking about this for five years. The paperwork was the thing that always stopped me. When I saw everything was already done — and done properly — I just thought, why not now?"
Key takeaway: The documentation removed the only barrier. Her expertise did the rest.
Five colleagues from different professional backgrounds pooled resources and formed a syndicate. Three registered as directors and each applied for Start Up Loans. The documentation fee was shared and recovered from loan proceeds on day one. A qualified manager was hired to run day-to-day operations. The directors provide governance oversight in monthly board meetings.
By Year 2, the service was generating strong annual profit — distributed among the syndicate members, from minimal initial outlay each.
"None of us could have done this alone. The Zundara package meant we didn't need to be sector experts — we just needed to find the right manager and let the documentation do the talking."
Key takeaway: Group acquisition dramatically reduces individual risk while maintaining strong returns.
A professional based in Dubai wanted to own a UK business but assumed she needed to be resident in the UK. After learning that no residency restriction exists on UK company ownership, she acquired a Zundara venture, appointed a UK-based manager and director through our guidance, and operates the business remotely.
She visits the UK once or twice a year for board meetings and strategic reviews. Dividends are paid quarterly.
"I had no idea it was this straightforward. The company was registered, the documentation was done, and the team on the ground runs it. I just review the numbers."
Key takeaway: You don't need to live in the UK to own a profitable British business.
An experienced business operator acquired a Zundara venture as a proof of concept. He had no background in the sector but understood business fundamentals. He hired a qualified manager, launched site one, and reached full capacity within months.
He later adapted the documentation library for a second site. Because the majority of policies, procedures, and operational documents transferred directly, the second site cost significantly less to establish.
"The first site was the test. Once I saw how the documentation framework held up with the regulators and with the bank, I knew this was a repeatable model."
Key takeaway: The documentation library isn't a one-time purchase — it's a scalable business asset.
Not necessarily. Many ventures are designed to be operated by a hired management team while you provide governance and strategic oversight as a director. Where sector-specific qualifications are required for management roles (such as CQC-registered care), the venture's documentation includes the recruitment framework for hiring qualified professionals. Having sector knowledge strengthens your position but is not a requirement for ownership.
Ventures are priced at £10,000. During our launch period, all ventures are available at £5,000 — a 50% introductory discount. In a syndicate structure, this cost is shared between members and is typically recoverable from loan proceeds.
Yes. Start Up Loans provide up to £25,000 per individual at a fixed 6% rate, unsecured. Multiple directors in the same business can each apply, giving access to up to £100,000 in combined funding. The Growth Guarantee Scheme supports facilities up to £2 million through accredited lenders. Your venture's documentation library is mapped question-by-question to the assessments these funding bodies use.
This depends on the sector. Ventures in regulated industries (healthcare, care) may take 5–6 months from purchase to first revenue, accounting for regulatory registration. Ventures in unregulated sectors can be operational much faster. Each venture's dedicated page includes a realistic timeline.
Yes, under the investor or syndicate model. You hire a qualified manager to handle day-to-day operations. As a director, your involvement is governance and strategic decisions — typically a few hours per month. The venture's financial projections already account for full employee remuneration, so the business is designed to operate autonomously with hired management.
Yes. Since 1 December 2020, there is no shareholding restriction for Skilled Worker visa holders — you can own 100% of a UK company. Under a passive ownership model with hired management, your involvement is limited to governance (board meetings, financial review) and does not constitute supplementary employment. Dividend income is not employment income and is not restricted by visa conditions.
Absolutely. The UK's Companies Act 2006 imposes no residency requirement on directors or shareholders. Foreign nationals can own, direct, and profit from UK companies without living in the country. Your Zundara venture comes with a UK registered address, local phone system, professional email, and full operational documentation. You appoint local staff to operate the business. Thousands of international entrepreneurs do exactly this.
On completion, we execute a formal share transfer — all shares in the company are transferred to you (or your syndicate members) via stock transfer forms. You are appointed as director(s) at Companies House. Any existing nominee directors resign. The registered office address is updated to your preference. This is all verifiable on the public Companies House register from the day of transfer.
Every venture includes 12 months of managed infrastructure — website hosting, email, phone, and technical support. After Year 1, free Basic support continues forever (email, 5-day response, knowledge base). Paid tiers start at £49/month for Standard and £99/month for Premium with faster response times, phone support, and proactive infrastructure management. Phone call minutes are always consumption-based — you pay for what you use.
A franchise gives you a brand and an operating manual in exchange for an upfront fee (typically £15,000–50,000+) plus ongoing royalties (5–10% of revenue, forever), marketing levies, territory restrictions, and exit limitations. A Zundara venture gives you a complete, independent business with no ongoing fees, no territory restrictions, and no brand dependency. You own the company outright.
A shelf company is an empty corporate shell — a company number and nothing else. No business plan, no financial models, no policies, no compliance documentation, no HR framework, no digital infrastructure, no funding support. A Zundara venture includes all of this. A shelf company saves you one week. A Zundara venture saves you 6–12 months and tens of thousands in professional fees.
Yes. The documentation library is designed for replication. Subsequent sites can reuse the majority of policies, procedures, and operational documents with minor adaptation. Startup costs for additional sites are significantly lower. Portfolio operators can access our Enterprise support tier for volume pricing and dedicated account management.
