Snapshot of the Business & Idea
Executive Summary
Business Concept
Advisory firm guiding healthcare practice owners through exit or expansion via full-service M&A, valuation, buyer sourcing, and deal execution.
Why We Chose This
Healthcare M&A is surging as PE firms pursue roll-ups and aging practice owners retire, creating strong demand for niche advisors who can manage end-to-end exits.
Core Problem
Many practice owners lack the skills to find qualified buyers, prepare clean financials, and negotiate exits—often resulting in failed deals or low valuations.
Why Now
A wave of PE roll-ups, retiring providers, and industry consolidation makes now the perfect time for niche healthcare M&A advisory services to thrive.
Who This Is Perfect For
Established dental, vet, and physio practice owners with $1M–$20M in revenue seeking liquidity, succession, or strategic expansion opportunities.
