A typical multiple of 4.5× EBITDA reflects mid-market transactions in the $1–$50M revenue range.
Overview
Home care businesses typically trade at 3×–6× EBITDA, supported by growing demographic demand and the relative predictability of government-contracted revenue. Businesses with CQC or equivalent registration, an experienced coordinator team, and a balanced mix of government and private-pay clients attract the upper end. High staff turnover, wage inflation, and thin margins on government-funded contracts are consistent risks.
