The company contracts with its clients to provide these services by skilled, licensed, and insured professionals, saving its clients from the burden of establishing, administering, and funding these services for their patients. The firm has realized average annual revenue and earnings growth rates over the last three years of 59% and 33% respectively. It is expected to more than double earnings in 2011 on 42% revenue growth. The current owner wishes to find a buyer that will take over the management of the business so that he can focus on management and new client development while the acquiring company provides operational and marketing support to allow the business to continue to grow at rapid rates. Despite its growth, the firm still has significant opportunity to achieve full market penetration servicing home health care agencies in Connecticut. The firm also believes that other areas of the health care continuum, such as Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Centers, and Out-patient Clinics require the same service and the firm has almost no presence in these markets. The business has been pre-approved by a bank for an SBA guaranteed loan of $2,000,000 for a qualified buyer. ]]> </description><pubDate>2/4/2012</pubDate><listingPrice>2500000.0000</listingPrice><downPayment>2000000.0000</downPayment><grossRevenues>2591052.0000</grossRevenues><discretionaryEarnings>854033.0000</discretionaryEarnings><locationGeneral>New Haven County, CT</locationGeneral></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant ]]> </title><link>http://www.vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Pizzeria-and-Italian-Restaurant.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Pizzeria-and-Italian-Restaurant.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[ Opening in 2005, this established pizzeria and Italian restaurantquickly gained the distinction of becoming one of the leading places to enjoy a great New York style pizza.
