Frequently Asked Questions: Buying a Care Business & Healthcare Facility
What does a home care service or a care home cost in Germany?
Home care services are typically valued at 0.5–1x annual revenue or 3–5x EBIT. Residential care facilities are often valued using the income approach – multiples of 10–14x EBITDA are possible for high-quality facilities with occupancy rates above 95%. Key value drivers: licences (under SGB XI, the German long-term care code), ongoing care contracts, care-fee agreements, staff base and structural condition.
What licences and special considerations are relevant when buying a care business?
In care, the licence under SGB XI is the decisive requirement for billing with health and long-term care insurers. When the operator changes, the licence often needs to be reapplied for. Also relevant: care authority notices, inspection reports from the medical review board, staffing ratios and the care-home law requirements of the relevant federal state. For nurseries and educational institutions, municipal operating permits and provider agreements need to be checked.
Does Deal One also list insolvent care businesses or nurseries?
Yes – Deal One captures new insolvency notices in health and social care every day. Especially in an environment of rising staff costs and limited refinancing options, insolvency situations arise regularly. Buying out of insolvency can enable quick market entry with existing licences, staff and an established occupancy structure. The AI alert notifies you immediately about new cases.
