Question ID: 755347
I am needing a list of companies with contact information that
purchase medical practices.  This is a VERY, VERY successful surgery
sub-specialty practice.  This practice has two locations with all of
the cutting edge equipment.  The entire practice is computerized (i.e.
patient's charts; x-rays; lab results.)

It would be helpful to know where the medical practice is located. At
least the nation, preferably the city and state or province.

Clarification of Question by jas8844-ga on 13 Aug 2006 06:48 PDT
The medical practice is located in Columbia, South Carolina in the United States.

Hello jas8844-ga,

I have been researching your question and my preliminary findings are
that there are brokers who will facilitate the buying, selling and
valuation of medical practices. I have not found any groups, companies
or individuals who simply buy medical practices. Will information
about medical practice brokers meet your needs? The more you tell me
about the context of your question, the greater the likelihood that I
will be able to get you the information you need.

I look forward to your clarification.

Hello jas8844-ga,

I have found several business brokers that specialize in medical
practice sales. This is a very specialized industry and there are a
limited number of companies and consultants that are active in this
field. The geographic location of the broker doesn?t seem to be a key
element in choosing the broker or consultant who can best help you in
selling your very successful practice.

In the course of my research it became clear that appropriate
valuation is key to the sale of your medical practice. I?ve included a
collection of articles that discuss the issues involved in practice
evaluation as well as some companies that specialize in medical
practice evaluation. Several of the companies I found perform a broad
range of services and can do the evaluation and help you with the sale
as well.

I trust that the information I?ve found will help you find a
consultant / broker who can help you with selling your practice.
Please don?t hesitate to ask for clarification if you need further
assistance with this question.

All the best.

How to Find the Right Buyer for Your Practice
(For: Journal of Medical Practice Management)
By Daniel M. Bernick, JD, MBA, and Michael J. Parshall

To receive the best possible offer for your practice, take the
following three steps:

1. Hypothesize the "ideal buyer" for your practice: the buyer who will
find the practice highly desirable.
2. Identify the universe or "pool" of potential buyers, the
individuals and/or entities who would consider buying your practice
for one of many reasons.
3. Identify your objectives - what you expect from the deal.
4. Negotiate with the most probable buyers to maximize value.

(This is fairly long article that provides a good overview of the
issues involved in selling a medical practice.)

MEDICAL PRACTICE VALUATION ? GENERAL INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
==============================================================

http://www.physiciansnews.com/business/604master.html
Valuation of medical practices

Many unique factors affect a medical practice?s value, which tends to
be based on both tangible and intangible assets (such as goodwill).
This article looks at the impact of goodwill and other factors, such
as the nature of the client base, area demographics and the
competition level, on a practice?s value.

-------------------------------------------------

http://www.spardata.com/valuation-information/medical-practice-valuations.shtml
Medical Practice Valuations

Professional practices are different from other business types and
therefore present unique challenges to the appraiser. A profession is
a vocation or occupation requiring special, usually advanced,
education, knowledge and skill. The labor and skill involved in a
profession is predominantly mental or intellectual, rather than
physical or manual. The value of a professional practice is generally
the sum of the physical assets and the intangible assets, of which the
latter typically comprise the greatest contribution to the practice.

Professional practices are more complex to value than ordinary
businesses for three reasons. First, since much?in some cases
virtually all?of the value derives from the talents, knowledge and
reputation of the practitioner, the very concept of value varies
according to the purpose of the appraisal.

Second, many factors influence the value of a professional practice.
Some of the value drivers include: location and demographics; client
persistence; degree of dependency on referrals and basis for said
referrals; facilities and technology; work habits of the practitioner;
and supply of and demand for acquirable practices.

Finally, particular problems are posed by the fact that most
professional practices use cash-basis accounting and are more
constrained to a limited life than are most businesses. Professional
practices are more dependent on one or a few individuals than is
usually the case for most businesses and, as a result, the
contribution of these individuals to the practice is an important
factor in the valuation.
