Southeast / Home Medical Equipment Provider / ADD ON / ~$0.34MM Adj. Company Overview The Company is an established home medical equipment (HME) provider operating across two locations in the Southeast, delivering essential, insurance-reimbursed products for patients with respiratory conditions, sleep disorders, and mobility impairments. The business has built a strong regional reputation through an eight-year operating track record and consistent recognition for service quality, driven by deep physician referral relationships and high-touch patient care.  The Company provides a full suite of durable medical equipment, including oxygen therapy, CPAP/BiPAP devices with automated resupply, ventilators, airway clearance systems, power wheelchairs, and hospital beds. Its model combines recurring rental/resupply revenue with higher-ticket capital equipment sales, creating a balanced revenue profile with both stability and upside.  A key driver of performance is a highly recurring revenue base supported by over 2,000 active patients enrolled in automated resupply programs, generating predictable monthly cash flow with minimal acquisition cost. All patient volume is sourced through physician referrals, creating a defensible, zero-marketing acquisition model and strong payer relationships across Medicare, commercial insurers, and managed care providers.  The Company operates with a lean team and centralized administrative structure, supported by dual-location inventory enabling same-day delivery across its service region. Regulatory barriers, including federal accreditation and payer credentialing, further reinforce its competitive positioning and limit new market entrants.  The business operates within a large, fragmented, and recession-resistant healthcare market, benefiting from long-term tailwinds including an aging population, increased prevalence of chronic conditions, and a structural shift toward home-based care delivery.

What to know about health care and fitness business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating health care and fitness business acquisitions.

Confirm licensing, credentialing, and payer enrollment transfer

Clinical practices depend on provider credentials, facility licenses, and payer contracts that may not pass to a new owner; verify before close.

Understand the payer and reimbursement mix

A practice heavy in one insurer or in declining reimbursement carries different risk than cash-pay or membership; get revenue by payer and the trend.

Quantify provider and owner dependence

The dentist, physician, or lead trainer often is the practice — know who holds the patients or members and what non-competes are in place.

Separate recurring memberships from fee-for-service

Gyms live on retention; high churn behind a growing top line is a warning. Get gross and net retention, not sign-ups.

Review compliance and liability standing

HIPAA, billing audits, malpractice history, and inspections are real liabilities; confirm coverage and open matters.

Assess equipment, facility, and deferred capital

Clinical equipment and fitness build-outs age and date — and a gym relocation alone can run $100K–$500K. Budget what's been deferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Yes, helped by recurring revenue. Lenders weigh provider transfer, payer concentration, and credentialing, so a practice that runs beyond the owner funds most easily.
