Private Practice Survival Guide
Defining Your Private Practice Sales Valuation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this quick tip episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Seigel breaks down how to accurately define the sales valuation of a private practice—and why misunderstanding valuation mechanics can cost owners hundreds of thousands of dollars at exit. He explains the two primary deal structures (stock sales vs. asset sales), how insurance contracts and tax IDs impact deal viability, and why buyer type (private equity, strategic buyers, internal partners, or individual investors) directly influences valuation outcomes.
Brandon walks through the most common valuation methodologies, including EBITDA multiples and discounted cash flow (DCF), while clarifying common mistakes owners make—especially overstating EBITDA by misclassifying owner compensation. Using a real-world case study, he shows how proper add-backs, risk reduction, operational independence, and infrastructure readiness can dramatically increase multiples and sale price. The episode closes with practical steps to optimize value, protect sensitive data during negotiations, and prepare early so owners exit confidently, maximize leverage, and preserve the legacy they’ve built.
