In-Home Personal Care for Seniors - Non-Franchise
Sold
Specifications
In-home personal care for seniors is a growing field, and this Kansas City-based, non-franchise firm has 130 full- and part-time Caregivers to meet that demand. Working with 103 families on a weekly basis, clients can choose from a range of services, whether it be quick daily visits or 24/7 care. The average patient bills at 20 – 25 hours each week, and all are private pay or long-term care insurance. A full Support Staff is in place to assist clients and Caregivers, allowing the seller to focus on employee management and company growth.
Started ten years ago with the mission to help seniors be successful and independent in lieu of managed care facilities, clients range in age from 75 to 105-years old. Caregivers assist with homemaking duties (laundry, meals, housekeeping) and/or personal care, such as dressing, grooming and showering. On staff are about 20 Nurses’ Aides to care for patients with advanced Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS, with the remaining Caregivers handling everything in between wellness checks to overnight stays.
As the company does not work with Medicaid, Medicare or VA patients, growth exists in reaching out to more long-term care insurance clients, which is becoming a more popular plan. Located in Kansas City, the company does have a small satellite office just west of the Metro, and a buyer should consider offering more services to smaller towns in Kansas and Missouri.

Valuation Details
The Firm Business Brokerage used a Cash Flow Valuation methodology to determine the Purchase Price of the business. The formula used is as follows:
Cash Flow x Multiplier = Price
“Cash flow” is the sum of net income plus any owner perks and non-onward going expenses.
“Multiplier” is a prescribed number between 1 and 5 determined by a 100-point, 20-question rating system used to determine the business valuation (average is 3).
The Cash Flow for 2016 & 2017 is averaged to $330,615. The prescribed multiplier is 3.6.
With this information, the computation result follows:
$330,615 x 3.6 = $1,190,214
The List Price for the business is set at $1,190,000.
Funding Example
Purchase Price: $1,190,000
15%Buyer Down Payment: $178,500
15%Seller Financing: $178,500
70%Bank Loan: $833,000
Seller Financing 5-year term at a rate of 4.50% equals a monthly loan payment of $3,328.
Bank Loan 7-year term at a rate of 5.50% equals a monthly loan payment of $11,970.
After business expenses and annual loan payments of $183,576, a buyer would retain a net operating income (profit) of $115,616. A 15% down payment of $178,500 results in a 65% return on investment in the first year.
