Ever though about selling your practice?

 

Whether you’re a clinician-turned owner/operator, someone who acquired a private practice (like this one), or a manager or administrator in a larger organization, the words mergers and acquisitions can cause your eyes to glaze over. Your mind immediately turns to financial metrics, productivity, KPIs, and mind-numbing statistics.

 

However, if you want to receive equitable reimbursement for the time, energy, and risk you’ve taken to build your business, you must begin to understand the business & financial metrics. You also need to get a game plan in place —well in advance of your desired exit date— to allow for a smooth transition & peaceful exit when it does come time to sell. As someone who recently made an acquisition of an outpatient PT clinic, I can tell you that buyers definitely value and appreciate an owner who has their ducks in a row when it’s time to hit the “buy now” button. So how can owner/operators put the pieces in place to exit when they want to and receive the highest sale price possible for their business?

 

My guest this week, Mike Piekutoski from 8150 advisors is the perfect person to speak to about this topic. He has worked as a clinical, but has spent the last decade or so working in the Mergers & Acquisitions space, particularly in the rehabilitation market (PT/OT clinics).
