Supply Not Meeting Demand Within the Hospice Industry

Jan. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Hospice owners need to think about selling their businesses in 2013.  There is an overabundance of buyers within the hospice industry and not enough supply to meet the demand.  After personally dealing with several sellers and buyers on a daily basis, VALLEXA has noticed a certain trend:  there is a shortage of Hospice agencies for sale.  

Throughout the hospice industry, as mentioned above, there is a large influx of buyers interested in the Houston and San Antonio Texas (TX) areas and not nearly enough hospices for sale.  The other potential areas for hospice sellers include: California (CA), Arizona (AZ), Alabama (AL), Virginia (VA), Georgia (GA), Florida (FL) and North Carolina (NC).

After a phone call with an Owner of a hospice in Georgia who is thinking about selling their agency, VALLEXA was informed that the State of Georgia appears no longer releasing any new hospice provider numbers. AND THEIR NOT THE ONLY STATE DOING THE SAME THING!  What does this mean for you?  Basically, if you plan on selling your hospice, it may be in high demand and you may be able to receive great incentives for choosing to sell at this time.  For the buyer of hospice, this means that you have few opportunities to choose from, so if Georgia is your area of interest, and you find a hospice for consideration, consider acting in a timely manner with and keep in mind that other buyers are likely bidding as well.

The vast majority of transactions that take place in hospice have buyers with previous healthcare industry knowledge and often times most sellers now require that any potential buyers have experience within the hospice space, specifically.  In doing so, this helps to assure the ease and speed of the transaction as well as the success of the business moving forward.

VALLEXA is dedicated to finding the best fit for their clients whether you are buying or selling your Hospice agency. Potential sellers can receive a free valuation simply by contacting VALLEXA and completing a couple of documents.  There is no cost and no obligation which means there is NO RISK involved.
