Market value is what qualified buyers will actually pay. Not a friend's exit story, not a mass email promising 8x.
A multiple is a payback clock.
At 3x, a buyer earns their money back in about three years. At 8x they wait eight, in an industry where census turns over and rates can change. Premium multiples need earnings that will still be there.
Depth beats one big number.
Several qualified bidders close to your price give you leverage. One outlier bid gives you a dependency, and outliers tend to retrade.
Price or terms. Choose.
All cash at close usually means a lower number. A seller note or earnout can justify a higher one. Knowing which matters more to you shapes the whole process.
Where does your agency stand?
Answer eight quick questions and see which tier your agency falls into, and what drives value at that stage. It takes about a minute.
A rough placement, not a valuation. A real number needs your billing, payroll, and expenses.
How to Increase Your Agency's Worth
A home care owner's guide to a higher sale price.
Most agencies aren't ready to sell, and that's fine. Every gap is fixable, and the same fixes that raise your price make the agency easier to run today, whether you sell next year or never.
Quiet, careful, and honest about timing.
Off-market only
No listing sites, no blast emails. Your agency goes to buyers we've already qualified.
NDA before names
Nothing that identifies you goes out until a buyer has signed. Staff and referral sources find out when you decide.
Honest timelines
Prepared sellers can close in about 90 days. Many deals take four to six months. We'll tell you which you're facing up front.
The right counsel
Home care deals need an M&A attorney who knows home care. Generalists protect you out of a good deal.
Start with a number you can trust.
Tell us about your agency and we'll give you a grounded view of where it stands in today's market. Confidential, no obligation.
