Capital Constraints for Acquisition and Growth Investment
Definition
Home health agency owners seeking to grow through acquisition or organic expansion face tight capital markets. Rising interest rates and increased political/economic uncertainty make traditional financing (SBA loans, bank lines) expensive or unavailable. Venture/private equity capital typically requires loss of control or equity dilution. The loss mechanism: small agency owners cannot afford to acquire competitors or invest in infrastructure (technology, staff, facilities) needed to scale. This creates competitive disadvantage—larger, well-capitalized agencies consolidate market share. Owners who attempt organic growth without capital become cash-flow constrained (paying employees weekly while waiting 30-60 days for reimbursement). Unable to invest in technology/systems, they fall behind on EVV, data analytics, and operational efficiency. Inability to acquire talent also constrains growth.
