EBITDA can be useful, but it needs challenging before it supports a price.
The extract explains why seller adjustments, owner wages and hidden homecare costs can change the real value of a business.
Buyer due diligence
Do not buy the story before you check the business
This module teaches the questions a buyer should ask before committing to a homecare acquisition or takeover.
It covers EBITDA and valuation language, CQC registration risk, TUPE, staff stability, client mix, contracts, cashflow, reputation and the final walk-away decision.
A word from Gary
A care business can look attractive for the wrong reasons
Turnover, clients and a good story are not enough. This module is about slowing the decision down, asking better questions and protecting yourself before the risk becomes yours.
