How to Sell a Home Care Agency
Are you looking to sell your home care agency? It can be a challenging process, but with the right preparation and steps, it can be rewarding on a personal and financial level. Here are some steps to take when selling a home care agency:
Identify Your Goals
Start by determining the reasons you want to sell your Home Care Agency and your desired outcome. Establishing your specific goals and objectives will help guide you through the process.
Evaluate Your Home Care Business
Get an understanding of your company’s value by conducting a thorough evaluation. This includes gathering financial statements and data from past years, assessing the growth potential of the business, considering brand reputation, and evaluating your client list. Knowing the details about your Home Care Agency is key to determining an accurate value and developing the best approach for selling it.
Prepare the Agency for Sale
After we determine your home care agency’s worth, it’s time to start preparing the business for sale. This means creating attractive marketing materials, getting everything in order such as tax returns, insurance policies, leases, and ensuring all documentation is complete and up to date.
Create an Offer Package
Gather all the information collected during steps 2 & 3 and put together an offer package that will grab buyers’ attention. A well-constructed Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) should provide prospective buyers with enough details to make an informed decision on their purchase or investment without feeling overwhelmed with too much information.
Find Prospective Buyers
Once we create a Confidential Information Memorandum and offer package, it’s time to reach out to our network of strategic buyers to prospective financial buyers. Advertising and a sophisticated digital marketing plan let the right audience know you are actively looking to sell your home care agency. Utilizing our networking, professional groups, and Home Care associations prove beneficial when it comes to quickly finding qualified buyers for your business.
Negotiate and Finalize the Sale
We always seek to have multiple interested buyers and simultaneously begin negotiations with the interested parties, allowing us to present multiple offers and you can then select which offer works best for you. Once both parties agree on a purchase price and terms, all documents are prepared and signed by both parties. Congratulations – you have officially sold your home care agency!

The SBA offers a variety of loan programs to finance the purchase of a business, including the 7(a) loan program, used to finance the acquisition of an existing business.
