Whether you own a local business or a large regional company, we connect you with brokers who understand valuation multiples in the Healthcare & Medical sector.
Selling a hospice agency is different than selling a generic business. Buyers are looking for specific assets, contracts, and operational stability unique to your market.
We start by analyzing Average Daily Census...
Some owners are best served by local brokers who know the regional competition. Others, especially larger entities, may attract interest from regional consolidators or private equity groups. We help you find the right path.
• Census – Higher is better...
• Cap Management – Staying under caps...
Selling a hospice agency requires organized records, clean financials, and a strategy to retain key staff or contracts.
Valued on EBITDA. Clean billing history is vital...
We work with business brokers who will help you "recast" your financials, adding back owner benefits and one-time expenses to show the true profitability of the company.
You don't want competitors, employees, or customers to worry about a sale. Confidentiality is critical to maintaining your business value during the transition.
Our partner brokers utilize blind listings and strict NDAs to ensure your business is marketed discreetly. Employees and customers typically only find out once the sale is finalized and a smooth handover is ready.
Buyers evaluate census, cap management, and compliance.
ADC is the primary metric. A stable or growing census of 50+ patients attracts institutional buyers, while smaller censuses appeal to regional bolt-ons.
Agencies operating well below the Medicare Cap are highly valuable. Cap issues signal management problems or referral mix imbalances.
Clean surveys and no major ADRs (Additional Documentation Requests) or Z-PIC audits are essential. Compliance risk is a deal killer.
To get the highest price, we work with brokers who "recast" your P&L to show the true Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE). In hospice, this involves specific adjustments:
The hospice sector is consolidating rapidly.
1. National Platforms:
Large, PE-backed hospice networks acquire agencies to build density in existing markets or enter new CON states.
2. Strategic Buyers:
Home health agencies often buy hospice providers to create a continuum of care and capture patients transitioning from skilled care.
3. Private Equity:
Financial buyers look for stable cash flow and scalable management teams to build new regional platforms.
To maximize your multiple, ensure your patient charts are audit-ready. Buyers will perform deep clinical due diligence.
Our Advice: Review your referral source mix. Reliance on a single physician or facility is risky. Diversify your referral base before going to market.
If staff hear the agency is selling, they may fear for their jobs. If referral sources hear, they may send patients elsewhere.
Our Approach: We utilize strict NDAs and "blind profiles." We market the census, EBITDA, and location without revealing your agency name until a buyer has been vetted.
