Selling an Intensive Care Service � But How?
Selling an intensive care service is a process that requires a great deal of sensitivity. Because relying on employees to always be 100% present�especially regarding medication administration, focus during personal care, and integrity�carries particular weight in this process. To ensure a good environment even after the sale, the selection of the buyer is crucial as a seller.
Why Buyers Who Want to Keep You for at Least a Year Are a Sign of a Responsible Buyer
There are various models a buyer can choose. Whether it is the immediate release of the seller and hiring a PDL (nursing service manager) as a replacement, or retaining the seller for a good transition of at least one year�possibly combined with parallel training of a new managing director. Either way: it always affects the purchase price.
A somewhat longer transition period also shows that the buyer cares about the customers and employees and thinks long-term. Those willing to go this route signal a sense of responsibility and interest in the stable continuation of the business�and that is exactly what should matter to sellers.
3 Years Before the Business Sale�Is Starting Early Too Much?
No, quite the opposite. A good transition should be �rehearsed.� The earlier you start planning the sale, the better. Especially with sensitive business models like intensive care, a transition manager or an existing authorized signatory in the company should support you in the sale.
Ich will meinen Selling an Intensive Care Service � But How?
Now let us get to your main question, which is why you clicked on this article: How do I actually sell my care service?
Quite simply: start by clearly structuring your finances. Gather current BWAs (profit and loss statements) with annual summaries and�most importantly�have the most recent annual financial statements completed. Without the current annual financial statements, a sale will be very difficult.
Write down all information concerning your company and�as well described in the book Authentic Leadership� know what you wanna say.
Think about:
- What do I want to do after selling the company?
- What happens to my employees after the sale of my company?
- What value do I estimate for my company?
And then the final question: What kind of buyer do I want for my company�and how do I actually find this buyer?
How Do I Find the Right Buyer for My Intensive Care Service?
There are two paths:
- Own research and direct outreach
- Engaging an M&A advisor specialized in care companies
If you do it alone, the advantage is that you do not have to pay for an M&A advisor. But the disadvantage is that you do not know your company�s value, cannot assess which buyers are truly honest and good, and may also need to find a suitable lawyer (who are not always inexpensive in the M&A field).
That means: more stress�and often less money, because you do not know exactly what your company is worth.
Why an M&A Advisor Is So Important
Finding buyers is one thing�negotiating the right purchase price is another. An M&A advisor knows the actual value of your company and ensures this is taken into account in the sales process. Additionally, they bring multiple prospective buyers to the table simultaneously. This not only leads to better negotiations but also increases the likelihood of achieving a significantly higher purchase price.
A specialized M&A advisor brings not only the necessary expertise to realistically assess the company�s value but also a reliable network of potential buyers. They know the specifics of the care industry, understand what documents investors expect, and can professionally guide you through the entire sales process.
Studies show that companies sold with an experienced M&A advisor typically achieve a higher purchase price. The reason: the advisor knows the true value of the company and can better represent this in the market. Additionally, they often bring multiple buyers to the table simultaneously, leading to a stronger negotiating position and increasing competition for your company.
