We are an M&A boutique specialized in outpatient nursing care, healthcare, and financial services across the DACH region.
For more than 25 years, we have supported owners of nursing services with succession planning, valuation, buyer outreach,
and transactions that protect teams, care delivery, and continuity.
Our process is discreet, structured, and efficient—from the first value-driver assessment to a successful closing:
a robust purchase-price analysis, teaser preparation, targeted outreach and qualification of suitable buyers, coordination of due diligence,
and support throughout contract negotiations through to closing. We take as much work off your hands as possible so the sales process
does not disrupt day-to-day operations. We manage the data room, communication, and timeline consistently and reliably.
- DACH focus: We support care companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland—for example outpatient nursing services, out-of-hospital/ambulatory intensive care, intensive-care shared living groups, and inpatient care facilities/nursing homes.
- M&A expertise in the care sector: Our experience spans outpatient route-based nursing services, intensive care and palliative care providers, as well as traditional outpatient and inpatient care. We analyze purchase-price potential, identify suitable acquisition candidates, and bring both sides together in a focused, goal-oriented process.
- Discretion: Discretion is critical in sale processes. We ensure that no unrest arises within the team.
Our process is discreet, structured, and execution-focused: from defensible purchase-price logic and teaser/information memorandum preparation
through due diligence, contract negotiation, and closing. Your business remains fully operational because we consistently manage the data room,
communication, and timeline.

Sell a nursing service—predictable instead of stressful.
More buyer interest through clear positioning.
Succession in phases—structured through to completion.
A sale works best with a clear roadmap: define goals, organize figures and contracts,
plan the team and handover realistically, and only then approach buyers. This keeps day-to-day operations stable
while the process moves forward professionally.
Buyers in the DACH region primarily assess stability: utilization, team structure, routes, quality level,
billing reliability, and personnel-related risks. Those who present these points clearly negotiate on equal footing
and increase their chances of a strong offer.
The typical process: preparation and valuation, discreet outreach, indicative offers, review,
contract negotiation, handover, and closing. A structured process reduces friction, prevents delays,
and protects the team, clients, and ongoing operations.
1. Selling a nursing service: what is actually transferred?
When an outpatient nursing service is sold, it is not just shares or inventory that change hands.
The organization, processes, team stability, route structure, and the trust of clients are transferred as well.
That is exactly why buyers in the DACH region look at substance and reliability—not just revenue.
Those who prepare the handover professionally are selling a stable care structure that can be scaled, integrated,
or continued over the long term.
2. Reasons and timing: when is selling most worthwhile?
Common reasons include retirement, lack of internal succession, growth pressure, regulatory burden, or the desire for
relief and predictability. The best time is typically when the business is stable and the sale does not have to happen
in the middle of a crisis.
Early planning creates options: multiple buyer profiles, better terms, a cleaner handover, and less stress in everyday operations.
3. Valuation and purchase price: which factors matter in care?
Valuing a nursing service involves more than an EBITDA formula. In outpatient care, team retention,
utilization, route logic, quality evidence, billing stability, and risks in the personnel and payer environment
significantly shape the purchase-price range.
We translate these factors into a defensible range that is reliable for strategic buyers, investors, and banks.
4. Law and regulation: share deal or asset deal?
In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the structure and pace of a transaction often depend on contractual,
labor-law, and data-protection issues. Whether a share deal or an asset deal is preferable depends on liability,
transferability, risk allocation, and handover planning.
We coordinate specialized legal and tax partners and ensure the deal remains compliant—without slowing down operations.
5. Data room and documentation: the fastest path to trust
A clean data room determines whether prospective buyers can move forward quickly and seriously. Relevant items include
annual financial statements, management accounts, contract overviews, anonymized client structure, team and shift structure,
quality documentation, and transparent processes and billing.
Staged disclosures protect discretion: teaser first, then NDA, then progressively deeper data depending on the deal phase.
6. Buyer groups in the DACH region: who fits your goals?
Typical buyers include care groups and strategic providers, regional networks, financial investors, and successors from
management or the team. Each group values deals differently: strategics pay for synergies, investors for scalability,
and management for stability and a high-quality handover.
We steer the outreach so purchase price, team retention, and continuity of care can be achieved together.
7. The sale process: from preparation to closing
A structured process includes preparation and valuation, teaser and information memorandum, controlled buyer outreach,
indicative offers, due diligence, contract negotiation, signing, and closing. Clearly defined milestones prevent
unnecessary loops and create negotiation certainty.
The spatial experience makes every phase immediately understandable, reduces the need for explanation, and improves decision quality.
8. Visibility in the DACH market: trust and clear positioning
People searching for “sell a nursing service” expect guidance, credibility, and a clear process. Strong content explains
valuation, buyer logic, required documents, timeline, and discretion. Combined with structured data, fast performance, and
clean internal linking, the site gains organic visibility.
What matters is a tone that conveys confidence: precise, professional, and without marketing fog.
9. Common mistakes: where transactions fail unnecessarily
Typical pitfalls include preparing too late, relying on only one buyer, incomplete documentation,
disclosing sensitive information too early, or unclear internal communication. This leads to price pressure,
delays, or deal cancellations.
With a clear roadmap, staged disclosures, and professional buyer management, the probability of closing increases significantly.
10. Next steps: start discreetly, decide cleanly
The best start is a confidential first conversation focused on goals, timeframe, buyer profile, and an initial
indicative valuation. From that, a succession roadmap is developed to protect operations, the team, and deal timing.
If you want to pursue a sale seriously, structure is the difference: clear data, a clear story, and clear steps—
through to a secure closing.
