I'm a searcher and operator in active discussions to acquire an established behavioral health practice in Northern Virginia. The business has operated for 25+ years across four integrated service lines -- ABA therapy, skill building, counseling, and EPSDT -- with a credentialed clinical team and proven compliance infrastructure. The sellers: Husband and wife who built this practice over 25 years Both beyond retirement age and actively seeking a successor Highly selective -- after multiple conversations, they've expressed a preference to sell to me The business: $1.17M EBITDA on $3.06M revenue -- 38% margin Four service lines: ABA, skill building, counseling, and EPSDT 95%+ of revenue from commercial and government insurance reimbursements -- not transactional revenue Long-term client relationships anchored by treatment plan cycles Fairfax County, VA -- one of the wealthiest counties in the US with sustained demand for behavioral health services Clear platform potential for regional add-ons in a highly fragmented space Why I'm the right operator: Prior consulting experience with a behavioral health/ABA practice I understand reimbursement dynamics, clinical staffing levers, and the compliance environment This is not a cold entry into a new industry The raise: Targeting $2.5M in equity alongside conventional debt. Need ~$300K or 5% of purchase price committed early to secure the LOI deposit -- early participants have the most influence over structure and terms Seeking 8+ long-term oriented investors with interest in healthcare services or high-cash-flow SMB acquisitions.

It does seem like deposits are becoming more popular but $300K is way out of market (more like 0.5%-1%) of TEV depending on deal size.

A $300k deposit is wildly inappropriate.
