Multi-disciplinary clinic in Alberta, sold to a PE-backed strategic group.
The business: A multi-disciplinary clinic in Alberta. The founder wanted an investment partner and a way out of day-to-day operations.
The process: We matched the founder with a strategic buyer expanding regionally and brought multiple interested buyers to the table.
The negotiation: We held firm on valuation, worked through diligence roadblocks, and kept momentum from LOI to close.
The result: A full exit with a transition period, closed in 90 days from launch to funds wired.

Common questions
Have specific questions? Schedule a confidential consultation call below:
-
Most healthcare service businesses sell in 5–9 months, depending on financials, buyer demand, and how quickly diligence moves.
Clinics with over $1M of EBITDA (we can help you calculate this) are in high demand from buyers.
-
Our success fee ranges between 3% to 10% depending on the size of your business (bigger business = small fee).
We also charge a small upfront or monthly fee that is subtracted off the success fee at closing.
The purpose of the upfront fee is to ensure we’re both invested in the process as we invest hundreds of hours on each deal.
-
The internet will tell you there is a bunch of ways to value a business.
In reality, most of our clients businesses are valued based on a multiple of the businesses profit (EBITDA).
Note: calculating profit for M&A deals is more complicated than looking at your taxable income. This is why we offer a free valuation for entrepreneurs - even if they are not planning to sell in the near future.
-
Buyers focus on:
Patient volume & retention
Payer mix (private pay often valued higher)
Profit margins
Strength of clinical team
Owner dependency (how much gross billings are tied to the owner)
Compliance and documentation quality
Higher margins + transferable operations = stronger multiples
-
Most of our clients already have tons of inbound buyer interest - so why hire Breakwater?
Well, these clients also want to maximize their exit potential with the least amount of work possible. This is where Breakwater comes in to generate far more value than our fees.
