-
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.
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.
-
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.
-
Buyers focus on:
Patient volume & retention
Payer mix (private pay often valued higher)
Profit margins
