Practice Valuations
For the planners and the dreamers
Our Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) conducts a thorough analysis to estimate the value of a practice and assist in financial planning for the future of the business.
A formal valuation benefits practice owners at every stage of ownership, offering accurate insight into key areas:
- Business Planning – Expansion, changes to practice structure or strategy, purchase of equipment
- Transition Planning – Exit strategy, retirement projections
- Selling & Buying – Start-ups, acquisitions, sales, buy-ins, or buy-outs
