Town & Country Home Medical LLC

David Butler spent more than 20 years in the medical equipment industry, working in corporate America to manage, sell, and operate in a fast-paced and challenging field. He gained extensive experience and built relationships with both patients and business associates in his community. But in 2023, David began envisioning something more: owning his own business. That vision became a reality in April 2024 when he purchased Town & Country Home Medical LLC, a locally owned provider of home medical equipment and respiratory devices serving Lawrenceburg, TN, and surrounding counties. 

The opportunity to buy an existing business, complete with inventory, clients, and a building, was promising but complex. David approached the TSBDC for help navigating the financial analysis, business planning, and loan process. Center Director Galen Longo worked closely with him, reviewing the business’s historical financials and helping David develop projections and an organized business plan. Together, they prepared the documentation needed for a local bank loan, including inventory schedules, financial forecasts, and detailed strategies for future growth. 

With this support, David secured financing to purchase the business and hit the ground running. In just seven months, he has increased the company’s revenue by 15% and expanded the team, adding a respiratory therapist and an additional part-time employee. He also introduced two new product lines and reinvested profits into inventory to fuel further growth. David diligently tracks his progress, managing profit and loss statements monthly and adhering closely to his business plan. His goal is to achieve 25% revenue growth by his first year of ownership, and he’s well on his way to meeting that milestone. 

Reflecting on his journey, David shared how instrumental the TSBDC has been: “Galen guided me through everything—from building my business plan to securing financing. As a first-time business owner, I learned so much that I didn’t know before. Even now, months after my purchase, Galen continues to support me as I grow.” 

David’s dedication to his community goes beyond his business’s success. He’s implemented a financial hardship program to help patients struggling with healthcare costs and contributes to local school sports programs and churches. As he looks to the future, his vision includes purchasing land and building a new facility to support continued growth. With the TSBDC’s ongoing guidance, David is transforming Town & Country Home Medical into a thriving business that makes a difference in the lives of his customers and his community.
