Why Stoneridge Partners
Other brokers can research your business.
We know your business.
Selling a healthcare business is not like selling any other company. The regulatory complexity alone — Medicare certification, certificate of need requirements, state licensure, payor contracts — would make most advisors hesitate.
Our team has previous executive-level experience working in healthcare operations and development. We have looked at the same financials, considered the same options, and sat at the same negotiating tables you have.
With more than 25 years in business and hundreds of closed transactions, Stoneridge Partners has the buyer relationships, industry knowledge, and regulatory expertise to deliver results most advisors cannot.
I had spoken to two other advisors before Stoneridge. Within the first call, I knew this team was different. They understood our business immediately. The deal they negotiated exceeded what I thought was even possible.Syd Kain

John Parks
Having founded and sold three separate healthcare companies over 30 years, John is intimately familiar with the daily realities of healthcare operations and the intricacies of M&A — giving him a perspective no outside advisor can match.

Client Testimonials
Trusted by healthcare providers across the country.
Engaging Stoneridge Partners to represent me in selling my private duty home care business was one of the best decisions I ever made. A previous attempt with another M&A firm had been unsuccessful. Stoneridge was able to source highly qualified strategic buyers that the other firm did not. We had an LOI two months after signing and concluded the sale to a perfect buyer three months later. They became valued advisors and friends, always accessible when I needed help.
I was never pressured to sell when I was not ready. They were more than my brokers — they were also my "shrinks" through the ups and downs of the whole process. I sincerely appreciate the team at Stoneridge Partners more than you can imagine.
Their reasonable approach to dealing with problems had a calming effect, especially as things got hectic near closing. I appreciated their willingness to advocate my position with the buyer when I felt strongly about an issue. Having Stoneridge to guide us was the only way we could have completed the sale in such a short timeframe.
Stoneridge quickly and effectively made several introductions and within a short period we had a couple of offers on the table. They held my hand at every step and coached me well throughout the entire process.

Common Questions
Answers to what most owners ask first.
What types of healthcare businesses does Stoneridge Partners work with? +
We specialize in post-acute care and behavioral health providers: home health agencies, hospice organizations, home care and private duty companies, behavioral health practices, substance use disorder treatment centers, mental health groups, IDD and autism services providers, urology practices, and concierge and direct primary care medicine practices. If you operate in any of these categories, we likely have closed transactions and active buyer relationships in your specific market.
Will my employees find out I am exploring a sale? +
Confidentiality is the foundation of everything we do. We do not contact buyers until they have signed a non-disclosure agreement. We work with you to manage internal communication — including if, when, and how to notify key staff — as part of the process. Most of our clients successfully complete transactions with zero operational disruption.
How long does the sale process take? +
The timeline varies but typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of the transaction, regulatory requirements, and buyer due diligence. We work to maintain momentum throughout and keep you informed at every stage. Some transactions close faster; complex multi-site deals may take longer.
How can I ensure my business is valued accurately? +
We conduct a detailed valuation process that accounts for your financials, EBITDA, payor mix, census stability, geographic market, regulatory standing, and dozens of other factors specific to your organization. This ensures you know exactly what to expect before we go to market — and gives us the foundation to maximize what buyers will pay.
What does Stoneridge charge? +
We work on a success-fee basis — meaning we are only paid when and if your transaction closes. There are no upfront retainer fees. Our fee is a percentage of the transaction value, which aligns our incentives completely with yours: we only succeed when you succeed.
What types of buyers will be interested in my business? +
The buyer universe includes regional and national strategic operators expanding their footprint, private equity-backed platforms building scale, family offices seeking stable healthcare cash flows, and individual operators entering new markets. Our national buyer network spans all categories, built over 24+ years. We match your business with the right buyer profile — not just the highest headline number.
What is the difference between Stoneridge and a business broker? +
A general business broker typically lists your business publicly, works with many sellers simultaneously, and may have limited healthcare-specific expertise. Stoneridge manages a confidential, structured process tailored to your specific organization, brings relationships with qualified healthcare buyers, handles regulatory complexity that would stop most advisors, and negotiates on your behalf throughout. The difference in final outcome — both in price and in deal terms — is material and consistent across our transaction history.
The first step costs you nothing.
A confidential conversation could be the most important meeting you schedule this year. No pressure, no commitment — just clarity about what your options actually look like.
