Off-market: In-home care business with $400K profit and 3-5 year transition

Hey, it’s Ben!

Not every off-market deal that comes across my desk is worth sharing, but this one caught my attention for a very specific reason.

The owner also wants to stay involved for 3-5 years as a GM.

That’s rare, and it’s exactly what makes this opportunity worth looking at!

Community Spotlight

Before we get into today’s off-market opportunity, I wanted to share another win from the Acquisition Ace community 👇️ 

Rodrigo joined Acquisition Ace in September 2024 and was under contract by November, closing on a $1.25M mechanic shop with 250% ROI in year one.

Rodrigo told us that without Acquisition Ace he wouldn’t have closed his first deal.

Today’s off-market deal is an in-home medical and hospice care business in California generating $400K in annual profit that just became available.

The operating owner is willing to stay on as GM for 3-5 years to ensure a smooth transition.

The Deal Overview

This business provides in-home care for elderly and hospice patients in California.

Currently owned by two partners (one passive, one operating), the operating owner wants to step back from ownership but remain involved operationally.

Revenue has grown 8-10% annually for the past three years, driven by strong demographic tailwinds as the Baby Boomer population ages.

The Numbers

Asking price: $1.4M

Profit available to new owner: $400K annually

Revenue growth: 8-10% year-over-year for 3 years

Transition: Operating owner stays as GM for 3-5 years

The extended owner involvement makes this particularly attractive for SBA financing, as lenders view long transition periods as significantly de-risking the acquisition.

Why This Deal Stands Out

A 3-5 year owner transition is almost unheard of in acquisitions (most sellers want out within 90 days).

This gives you years to learn operations, build relationships with clients and staff, and understand the market while the previous owner is still there.

Healthcare services are recession-resistant, and the aging population creates consistent long-term demand growth.

And because it’s off-market, you’re negotiating directly with motivated sellers instead of competing against multiple buyers.
