Questions physicians ask us most.
Selling or recapitalizing a practice raises a lot of questions — and a few fears. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most often. Don't see yours? Just ask us directly.
No. Confidentiality is the foundation of how we work. We approach only qualified buyers under non-disclosure, withhold your identity until you choose to reveal it, and control exactly what is shared and when. Your staff, patients, and competitors don't learn of a process unless and until you decide.
Value is typically based on a multiple of normalized EBITDA, adjusted for your specialty, payor mix, provider depth, growth, and current buyer demand. We offer a free, confidential valuation so you have a defensible range before any buyer sets the number for you.
Usually not. Most healthcare transactions — especially with private equity — are structured so physicians keep practicing, often with an employment agreement and rollover equity in the new platform. If your goal is a clean exit and retirement, we can structure for that too. Your goals drive the deal.
Continuity of care and culture matters to most sellers — and to most credible buyers. We help you weigh offers on more than price, including how a buyer will treat your team and patients, and we can prioritize buyers whose values align with yours.
A typical sell-side process runs about six to nine months from kickoff to close, depending on your readiness, how competitive the process is, and diligence. We share a realistic timeline up front during your initial consultation. See our full process.
We're primarily compensated through a success fee tied to the outcome of your transaction, so our incentives are aligned with yours. Any retainer or scope is laid out clearly in an engagement letter before you commit to anything.
No. It's common to reach out before everything is buttoned up — part of our preparation work is normalizing financials and getting your practice presentation-ready. The earlier we engage, the more value we can help you build before going to market.
Not at all. An initial conversation or valuation request is free, confidential, and carries no obligation. Many owners talk to us a year or more before they're ready to act.
