Seller guidance
Preparing Your Nevada Facility for Sale
The months before a facility is marketed decide most of what it eventually sells for. This is what that preparation looks like.
Value is built before the market sees anything
Buyers discount what they cannot verify. An owner who can produce a month-by-month census history, clean payroll records and a documented rate schedule is negotiating from a different position to one who is reconstructing figures during escrow.
The second lever is owner dependence. A facility that runs because the owner personally covers shifts is harder to sell than one with a staffing model a new operator can step into. Paying for that work properly in the accounts shows the real earnings, which is the number a buyer will pay a multiple on.
Your preparation checklist
Three years of financial statements and tax returns
Month-by-month census history
Payroll, staffing roster and overnight coverage cost
Current licence and specialty endorsements
Inspection and complaint history
Rate schedule and recent increases
Vendor, referral and service contracts
Property records, maintenance history and any deferred work
Confidentiality is not optional
If residents, families or staff learn of a sale before you are ready, census and staffing can move against you in weeks — and value with them. Your facility is marketed on a blind summary with no name, address or sign, and detailed information is released only under a signed non-disclosure agreement.
You decide the moment your team and families are told, and we plan that conversation with you.
Plan for the buyer's licence
Your buyer cannot take over your facility licence. They apply for their own, and that approval usually determines the closing date. Purchase agreements are written with that condition in mind, and a buyer who files early and completely is worth more to you than one offering slightly more and moving slowly.
Frequently asked questions
- When should I start preparing?
- Twelve months before you intend to sell is ideal. Census consistency, rate increases and clean records take time to establish and are precisely what buyers pay for.
- What documents will I need?
- Three years of financials, a month-by-month census history, payroll and staffing detail, your licence and endorsements, inspection history, vendor contracts and property records.
- Can I sell if my census is low?
- Yes. Low census reduces price but does not prevent a sale, and a documented reason often lets a buyer read the gap as upside rather than risk.
