Care provider secures £500,000 funding boost

A West Midlands healthcare provider is expanding supported living capacity following a significant funding boost aimed at meeting rising demand for community-based care.

Zanta Healthcare has secured more than £500,000 in commercial funding from NatWest to acquire and refurbish three supported living properties in Birmingham.

The homes, currently undergoing renovation and expected to complete later this year, will increase the organisation’s capacity to support adults with complex needs across the region.

NatWest worked with the business throughout the acquisition process, structuring a tailored funding package and supporting wider commercial planning to help ensure sustainable growth. 

The financing has been designed to align with Zanta Healthcare’s longer-term expansion plans while providing flexibility as the new properties are integrated into operations.

Zanta Healthcare director Martha Mhonyera is also an alumna of the NatWest Accelerator programme in Birmingham, which supports entrepreneurs and high-growth businesses as they scale.

Martha said: “This funding is a major step forward for us, allowing us to expand our supported living provision in the city at a time when demand is growing.

“NatWest’s support has gone beyond finance, with the team working closely with us throughout the process.”

Hardip Virk, senior relationship manager at NatWest, added: “Martha has established a business with a clear commercial vision and a defined strategy for scalable growth. 

“Our role has been to put in place a funding structure that supports that ambition, backed by proactive relationship management. 

“This enables the business to strengthen its market position and confidently accelerate into its next phase of expansion.”
