SECURITY

An important advantage in buying an ongoing established practice is that you, as the new owner, have IMMEDIATE CASH FLOW and an ESTABLISHED PATIENT BASE. You don't have to build the practice from scratch; you simply take over an existing and active practice with the assistance of the doctor (s) who built it.

FINANCING

We assist you in finding funds to actually purchase the practice. Banks are reluctant to finance clinical purchases for several reasons. First many practices attempt to minimize profits and maximize expenses shown on financial statements to reduce taxes. Also a bank cannot come into manage a practice, as easily as they can liquidate real estate. Therefore, over 80% of practice purchases are financed by the seller. If the selling physician takes back a Seller's Note from the practice buyer, it demonstrates their confidence in the practice. We also work with many preferred lenders who understand cash flow financing, and routinely finance clinical practice, often at 100% of purchase price.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Unlike the sale of real estate or new franchises, the sale of an ongoing clinical practices is very confidential for both the seller and the prospective buyer. All inquiries are held in strict confidence, protecting both the prospective buyer and the practice. This confidentiality will ultimately protect the practice you purchase by preserving the patient base, suppliers, and employees and is important for a smooth transition.
