When Rachel sold her residential childcare business, she suddenly faced a new challenge: how to manage a significant lump sum safely, without letting it sit idle.
She and her sister started with one care home in 2018. Five years later, demand had grown, and so had the business, expanding to ten homes. After selling the business, Rachel wanted to protect her profits and make sure they reached their full potential. That’s when her financial adviser introduced her to Flagstone.
