What Buyers Ask During Due Diligence | RCFE Seller Preparation Guide
Episode published August 25, 2026
Buyers ask detailed questions because they need to understand how an RCFE operates and what they would be acquiring. Sellers can prepare without trying to script every answer by making records organized, consistent, and responsibly shared.
Expect questions across the operation
Common areas for review include revenue and expenses, payroll, occupancy, resident care levels, staffing, contracts, licensing history, property condition, and the owner’s day-to-day role. The exact questions depend on the facility and deal structure.
Answer with records and context
Keep a request log, provide dated records through an appropriately secure process, and explain gaps honestly. Coordinate with your attorney and relevant professionals before sharing private or sensitive information. A clear response is more useful than an unsupported assurance.
Questions to bring to your next conversation
- Which records support the business’s operating history?
- Are there material changes or exceptions that need context?
- Who will coordinate, review, and protect requested information?
