20+ years operating Founder likely 55+ Medicare enrolled 3 locations Zero digital marketing
20-year-old, three-location home medical equipment supplier serving Central and West Central Illinois. Medicare-enrolled DME supplier with CPAP, enteral nutrition, and mobility aids. Website showing "Please come back later" — classic founder fatigue signal. Medicare-enrolled DME suppliers are extraordinarily difficult to build from scratch — the certification process alone takes 12–18 months. A ready-made platform for a regional DME roll-up.

Strategic alternatives — active Multiple quarters seeking buyer Asset-light royalty model $8.4M cash Going concern language
TherapeuticsMD has been publicly evaluating strategic alternatives — including a sale, merger, or asset transaction — for multiple consecutive quarters. Formerly a women's healthcare company, they transitioned to a pharmaceutical royalty model in December 2022. With $8.4M cash, growing license revenue (+71.6% YoY), and a board actively signaling desire to sell for 18+ months, this is one of the cleanest acquisition targets in healthcare — no employees to retain, no manufacturing to integrate, just royalty contracts and cash.

CEO from largest shareholder Q2 guidance revised DOWN President terminated Oct 2025 COO replaced Sep 2025 77% gross margins
SANUWAVE has $41M revenue and 77% gross margins in FDA-approved wound care systems. Three converging signals in 2026: CEO appointed from largest shareholder with mandate to "explore strategic options," Q2 guidance revised downward citing "material market disruption," and back-to-back C-suite terminations in late 2025. At ~$176M market cap with 77% margins, comparable wound care transactions have closed at 4–6x revenue — significant upside for a strategic acquirer.
