How saleable is your practice?

  • By Practice4Sale Staff Writers
I read an interesting article published in The New York Times. The article is titled "Sell a Business to Cover Retirement? Don't Count on It". It discusses how often business owners build businesses that cannot be sold and gives some suggestions on wealth creation for business owners.

Read the article at http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/25/business/smallbusiness/sell-a-business-to-cover-retirement-dont-count-on-it.html.

The article builds on the some of the issues we discussed in our recent blogs.

The key message is to make your practice saleable, you need to:

  1. Build a practice which is not reliant on you or a few practitioners;
  2. Have a clear market offer;
  3. Have a broad patient or client base;
  4. Build a management team which both manages the practice and works to a strategic plan;
  5. Develop and train a reliable and talented group of staff which become assets for the practice rather than a cost; and
  6. Build a profitable practice with a proven history of financial results.
