Seller Representation

From Readiness to Close

Full confidential representation from the first strategic conversation through advisor coordination and closing.

Confidential Readiness Assessment

Before any buyer contact — goals, timing, partners, concerns, and asset inventory.

Valuation & Story Positioning

Normalize earnings, identify value drivers, and build the market narrative before buyer outreach.

Targeted Buyer Outreach

Physician buyers, strategic groups, hospitals, PE, and competitors — mapped to your goals and contacted confidentially.

LOI Comparison & Negotiation

Evaluate price, terms, earnouts, non-competes, employment obligations, and closing certainty side by side.

Advisor Coordination

Coordinate with attorneys, CPAs, lenders, and consultants through closing.

Transition Planning

Staff, patients, and referral relationships — transition continuity is planned before, not after, close.

How It Works

A Defined Process Reduces Uncertainty

Seven steps from confidential first conversation to a successful close — designed to keep you in control at every stage.

1
Confidential Discovery

Goals, timing, partners, concerns, and complete asset map across the practice, ASC, and real estate. Nothing leaves the room without your approval.

2
Asset & Readiness Review

Practice financials, staff, payer mix, provider metrics, facilities, equipment, and related entities reviewed to identify value drivers and gaps.

3
Valuation Positioning

Normalize earnings, identify EBITDA adjustments, document value drivers, and prepare the market narrative — before any buyer sees the numbers.

4
Buyer Strategy

Physician buyers, PE, strategic groups, hospitals, or competitors — we determine the right buyer universe based on your goals, timing, and risk tolerance.

5
Confidential Outreach

No broad public exposure. Messaging, NDA, and targeting are controlled before any buyer learns of the opportunity.

6
Offer Comparison

Price, terms, earnouts, employment obligations, non-competes, transition duties, and closing certainty — evaluated side by side, not in sequence.

7
Close & Transition

Coordinate advisors, manage the closing timeline, and support continuity for staff, patients, and referral sources through the transition period.

Buyer Comparison

Comparing Your Selling Options

Every buyer type brings different economics, governance terms, and expectations. Understanding the trade-offs before the first offer changes the negotiation entirely.

Buyer Type Best Fit Advantages Watch-Outs
Younger physician buyer Legacy-minded seller; continuity-focused practice Preserves physician ownership and patient continuity Buyer financing and operational readiness can be limiting
Strategic medical group Practice with local market expansion value May close faster; understands operations Cultural fit and post-close autonomy vary significantly
Private equity partner Scalable, EBITDA-positive platform or add-on Potentially higher valuation and growth capital Employment terms, rollover equity, and future exit risk require careful analysis
Hospital or health system Referral-critical or market-aligned specialty Stability and integration resources Lower autonomy; longer approval cycles
Hold & prepare Practice not ready or timing uncertain Time to improve value drivers and market readiness Market conditions or owner fatigue may shift the calculus
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to sell a medical practice?
Most transactions take 6–18 months from initial readiness conversations to closing, depending on deal complexity, buyer type, and practice size. Preparation before buyer contact significantly affects both timing and price certainty.
Should I sell the practice and real estate together?
Not always. The right answer depends on lease terms, buyer type, real estate value relative to operating value, and your personal liquidity goals. A combined approach can simplify the process but may limit the buyer universe for each asset. See our Medical Real Estate page for more.
Can you help if a PE firm has already contacted me?
Yes — receiving an unsolicited offer is one of the most common starting points for our engagement. We help you evaluate the offer, understand what comparable transactions look like, and decide whether to negotiate, seek competing offers, or wait before responding.
How confidential is the process?
Confidentiality is a core part of the process — not an afterthought. No public listings, no broad advertising, no outreach to buyers without controlled messaging and mutual NDAs in place. Staff, patients, and referral sources are not involved until you decide to proceed.
What documents should I prepare before a valuation conversation?
At minimum: 3 years of practice financials (P&L and balance sheet), a provider productivity summary, a payer mix overview, and basic lease or property information. We walk through a full readiness checklist in the initial consultation.
Can younger physicians afford to buy a practice?
Yes, in many structures. SBA lending, seller financing, and staged buy-ins are common tools. The right structure depends on practice size, specialty, cash flow, and seller flexibility around timing and transition involvement.
