Medical Practices
Medical practices are high-value businesses that require a specialist who understands licensing, patient privacy, and the operational complexity of healthcare transactions. BAA works with owners of dental offices, optometry practices, urgent care centers, and specialty clinics to structure exits that reflect the full value of the practice.

Here's where we answer the most common questions about
Medical Practices
How is a medical practice valued?
Most medical practices are valued on a multiple of Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA, typically in the 2.0x to 4.0x range. Payer mix, patient retention, staff stability, and whether the selling physician will stay post-close all significantly affect value.
Can I sell if I am the only physician or practitioner?
Yes, but it requires careful structuring. Buyers will want a transition plan that protects patient continuity and satisfies licensing requirements. We help you map that plan early so it does not become a deal killer at the finish line.
Will my staff and patients find out the practice is for sale?
Not if we run the process correctly. BAA uses NDAs and staged disclosure to protect patient relationships and staff confidence throughout the process. Most staff and patients are not informed until after closing.
How long does it take to sell a medical practice?
Most deals close in 6 to 12 months. Licensing transitions, payer contract assignments, and lender due diligence on healthcare businesses typically extend the timeline compared to other business type
Do I need to stay on after the sale?
Most buyers want the seller to stay for a transition period — typically 30 to 90 days — to transfer customer relationships, introduce the new owner to key crew, and hand off operational knowledge. If you have a licensed qualifier, that person may need to stay longer depending on state licensing requirements. We negotiate transition terms as part of the deal structure to make sure your post-close obligations are clear and have an end date.
