How to Find a Decent Prospect to Buy Your Clinic- Part One
We speak to a lot of doctors who have been trying to sell their clinic for months- sometimes years- and some have never had a single interested prospective buyer. Many have had only terribly unqualified buyers who really want to become associates, or want the seller to owner finance 95% of the purchase price. And all of them are utterly dismayed at how long the process of even finding a prospect is taking. Does this sound familiar? And if you aren’t currently living it, doe

Three Reasons a Dedicated Web Page is Critical to Selling Your Clinic
When doctors call us to learn more about selling their clinics, they are often surprised that we create an entire web page dedicated to just their clinic; After all, this is not standard to this industry, and no other broker is offering anywhere near the amount of pictures, unique selling points, financial data and clinic stats we feature on our clinic web pages. But the truth is, in today’s marketplace this web page is a critical base to establish a web presence and effectiv

Secret Weapons for Buying + Selling a Chiropractic Clinic Revealed!
Whew! I don’t know about you, but the intensity of jumping back into the real world in January always takes my breath away a little bit. After the (relative) peace of holidays and time off, it never fails to surprise me how fast the world moves when we are all back at full speed. Things have definitely been moving and shaking around here. We spent the holidays discussing 'How can we make buying or selling a practice even better/easier/more fun’ and ‘How can we improve this

What You MUST Know About Potential Buyers
The day you have been waiting for has arrived… A potential buyer has made contact, and they want to learn more about your business. Whether it’s the first prospect to call or not, that feeling of excitement and possibility is palpable. But don’t let emotion squander a great opportunity with this call. Hopefully you are working with a skilled broker who has already prequalified this person, already had them sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect you and your interests, a

But I Already Have a Buyer- Why Do I Need a Broker?
One of the more common scenarios we see is a doctor who wants to sell their practice to an associate (or another established buyer.) The selling doctor comes to us to appraise the practice only; they wonder why they would even need a broker. They already have the buyer, and they will use an attorney to draft the contract… What else could we possibly bring to the table? Well, I am so glad you asked!! That common misconception can make a practice sale drag on for months, cos

What Does it REALLY Take to Sell Your Own Practice? Plus Special Savings Offer!
We talk to A LOT of doctors who are considering selling their practice. They come from all over the US, have practices of every size, and are being sold for a myriad of reasons. But they all have one thing in common—they want to get the maximum return on this investment they have been building all these years. Of course they do! And I bet you do, too.

How to Get Buyers REALLY Excited
As a business owner, what is the one thing we all look for, universally, year after year, with no exception? Growth of course! So it’s no surprise that when it comes to selling your business, buyers are looking for growth, too. A strong three-year growth pattern is a definitive way to increase not only the price of your practice, but also its desirability, often leading to a faster sale. Unfortunately, too many doctors allow their practice to ebb and flow over the years, en

What Do Buyers Really Want?
We talk to many doctors who want to sell their practices, some right away, some years from now (good job thinking ahead!), and some need it to happen yesterday. They almost all have some ideas of what they think the most attractive aspects of their practice are, the big selling points, what they think potential buyers will see and fall in love with- collections, visit numbers, attractiveness of the clinic, areas of potential growth… We also talk to many buyers who think they

Why Practices Don't Sell
So you are thinking about selling your practice- you are not alone. A recent survey conducted by Pepperdine University shows almost 2 out of 3 small business owners expect to sell or transfer their business ownership in the next 10 years! You can look on any chiropractic classified site and see an abundance of listings. But the sad truth is, not all of them will sell. Many business owners will have to just close the doors and turn off the lights, destroying plans for retir

Want to sell your practice? No one plans for this... But you need to!
Have you ever seen one of those life change stress indexes? It ranks how stressful different life events are, and if you’ve never seen one, the most interesting thing about it is how stressful positive events rank on the scale. For example, on this version getting married (which ranks a 50) is nearly as stressful as the death of a close family member (a 63). And other “positive” events like pregnancy, graduation from school, and even a vacation all have a negative impact o
