    Key Facts

    Private pay mix is the #1 value driver, agencies with 60%+ private pay command the highest multiples.

    Caregiver retention rate directly impacts valuation. High turnover = lower value.

    W-2 workforce models are valued higher than 1099 contractor models by sophisticated buyers.

    Medicaid waiver contracts provide stable recurring revenue but at lower margins than private pay.

    National franchise brands (non-specific) compete heavily, independent agencies with strong local brands can differentiate on quality and retention.
