Here's The Simple Truth...
Most of us who want to buy or sell our practices don’t succeed.
Why?
Is it because we’re bad businesspeople? No.
Is it because there aren’t any buyers out there? Most certainly not.
The real reason is usually quite simple:
We don’t have a lot of time, and want to simplify our lives. So we hire a broker and hope for the best.
Unfortunately, most brokers are more interested in their own bottom line than they are in your satisfaction.
Here at Sellingapractice.com, we do things differently. We're not brokers. We’re medical practitioners like you who have bought and sold our own businesses.
We know the potential benefits and pitfalls of each step in the process, and our mission is to help our colleagues to maximize the value of their practice and ease their transition to the next stage in their lives.
So, the only question remaining is,
Are you ready to do this right?
Good. Let's Get Started.

How To Prepare to sell
You need to get organized before you can sell your medical practice. Learn what you need to do through our pre-sale checklist, and have the right questions answered before you sell.
Getting A Practice Valuation
The true value of a practice isn't a simple formula; rather, it's what a buyer is willing to pay. Learn about the different standards of valuing a practice and how to set the right price.
Finding A Buyer for Your Practice
Simply listing your practice for sale on a website doesn't get you a buyer. Learn the dos and don'ts and some unique methods to find that needle in the haystack, the perfect person to take over.
drafting A Sales Contract
Your purchase contract needs to reflect the uniqueness of your practice. Asset or Entity sale? How much will be paid up-front? What about employees? Learn some of the key questions to ask in order to create a contract that's right for you.
