6 Reasons Private Equity Groups Want to Buy Your Homecare Company
|
Written by: Bradley Smith
In 2016, Private Equity Groups (PEGs) made big investments in home health and hospice providers. And they weren't the only ones. 2016 also saw hundreds of smaller add-on acquisitions in the this space.
The increased investment in this area might seem unusual, considering that homecare is a challenging business that must adapt to a rapidly-and changing regulatory environment. However, the prospect of change and uncertainty increases risk. One of the best ways to manage risk is to increase the scale of operations, hence the market is consolidating.
At VERTESS, we expect this consolidation and maturation of the homecare industry to continue throughout 2017, limited only by the ability of provided PEGs to find high-quality companies to purchase. In other words, it's a seller's market, but only if those sellers have the specific characteristics that fund managers want to see.

An "Underdiscussed" Deal Component - Environmental Risk
|
|
Written by: Brett McGovern
Whether you're on the Buy-side or the Sell-side, don't be called off-sides just because of an environmental exposure in your deal. Environmental insurance products can be utilized to facilitate deals with underlying environmental exposures.
Environmental risk can be considered akin to a product "hidden defect" in a merger and acquisition setting. Though a buyer may enter a transaction with eyes wide open, it may i) either miss a hidden environmental impact, ii) may not be able to conduct due diligence to know whether there is an impact, or iii) actually know of the impact and assume the risk or be indemnified for it by the seller. In any of these cases, there could be a catastrophic occurrence waiting on the other side of the deal closing date that leaves a buyer in an uncomfortable place. Sellers may also take advantage of insurance products to gain coverage certainty. The following scenarios briefly demonstrate how buyers and sellers alike can utilize environmental insurance products to get the deal done.

Shifting Marketing's Focus
|
|
Written by: Christine Hollinden
Finding and retaining top talent continues to be a top priority for professional service firms across the country. For the past several years, the topic of staff shortages, recruiting strategies, and succession planning have been at the forefront of discussions. The pressure on staffing has created a ripple effect. One ripple has been to expand the reach of marketing. It isn't enough to focus all marketing efforts on gaining new clients; the strategies of today's firm must include marketing to current and potential employees. The competition for talent is as great, if not more so, than the competition for clients. Talent is still in the market. Firms must now position themselves as an employer of choice.
The Rise of the Employer Brand
One vital way to become an employer of choice is strengthen the employer brand. The term "employer brand" first surfaced in the mid-1990s. It referenced a firm's reputation as an employer, as opposed to its more general brand reputation. The idea gained traction between 2004 and 2008 when large corporate brands like Shell and P&G applied the same marketing focus to their competition for talent as they did for customers. This led to the development of an Employee Value Proposition, which defined the key benefits offered by the company as an employer, and the production of employer brand guidelines, which aimed to bring greater consistency to the company's recruitment advertising. Employer branding was predominately outward facing, advertising driven, and implemented by the HR department.
