Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers & Acquisitions of Home Nursing Agencies

“Thank you for your professional manner in handling the sale of our two agencies.  You make the whole process painless”

- Diane Belcher, Former Owner of First Home Care, Houston

Most agency founders and investors will only reap the financial rewards for their years of hard work and high risk after the sale or merger of their company. However, executing a successful sale or alliance of a home nursing agency is both difficult and time consuming. The majority of owners simply don’t have the necessary knowledge or experience to do a proper job. Further it takes time and energy that cannot be spared from running the business.

That is where Stoneridge helps the owner. Working together in a “strategic alliance”, Stoneridge provides a complete sales process that is customized to their particular business, and then guides the owner through this critical transaction….allowing the owner to continue to do what they do best….and that is to run their company.

Through an ongoing commitment to our clients before, during and after a sale, we develop solid, continuing relationships that go well beyond the individual transaction to focus on the long-term success of our clients. We strive to gain a continual understanding of their business and industry in order to provide them with the best advice possible even if that advice is not pursuing any transaction at all.

As past business owners, we understand what creates “value” in a home nursing agency and how to best present the opportunities to potential buyers. We accept assignments only from quality businesses in the mid-market range….with expected selling prices in excess of one million dollars, and we work primarily with buyers that understand the home care industry.  By keeping this tight focus we are best able to serve a very select list of clients.

Our fee is a percentage of the selling price to be paid only when the business actually sells, and the business owner has absolute discretion as to whether or not to accept or reject any offer.

We charge no up-front fees.

“I wanted to thank you so much for all the time you spent packaging my company and working with me to get it sold to the right buyer. It still amazes me that you were able to pull this deal together so quickly and that you found a buyer that I am so comfortable working with. I could not have done this without your expertise, guidance, and support.”
