Specialized business brokerage for private duty and non-medical home care agencies in TX and NY
Private duty is a labor business. Buyers underwrite billable hours per week, gross margin per hour, and whether caregivers stay long enough to keep clients.
There is no Medicare provider agreement to transfer, which makes these the fastest closings we run.

Caregiver turnover
Above the market average and the buyer assumes recruitment spend they have not budgeted.

Change of ownership and regulatory considerations
These items set the closing date on a private duty and non-medical home care transaction. We check each one before your agency is marketed so a buyer never finds the problem first.
Change of ownership
There is no Medicare provider agreement to move, so the transaction turns on state licensure and payer consent. These are the fastest closings we run, often 45 to 60 days.
PTAN and Medicaid enrollment
Private pay work needs no PTAN. Where the agency bills Medicaid waiver hours, the provider enrollment must be transferred or reissued and the state may re-credential the new ownership.
Licensing timeline
Licensed home services agency status transfers through a state change of ownership filing. Managed care and waiver contracts frequently require written payer consent, which sets the closing date.
