Priya had spent years working as a practice manager before deciding she was ready to own her own medical wellness clinic. She knew the industry — but navigating an acquisition was a different challenge entirely.

"I knew what a good clinic looked like from the inside. I had no idea how to evaluate one as a buyer, read a deal structure, or know if I was being taken advantage of."

She came to BAA not with a specific business in mind, but with a vision. BAA helped her define acquisition criteria, then surfaced three off-market opportunities that matched her goals. She passed on two and moved forward on one — a profitable wellness center with strong retention numbers and an owner ready to retire.

"BAA walked me through every line of the financials. They flagged a lease renewal risk that could have cost me significantly in year two. I would have missed it completely."

The deal closed with favorable SBA financing terms, and BAA stayed involved through the transition to ensure a clean handoff.

"They never rushed me. They never pushed me toward a deal. They just kept asking, 'Is this right for you?' That changed everything."
