What buyers look at
- Profit after paying providers fairly. A group where owners take all the profit as pay may have little left for a buyer.
- Contracts. Long, exclusive contracts with facilities are worth more than handshake deals.
- Concentration. If one surgery center is most of your work, that's a risk.
- People. Will the providers stay after a sale?
- Billing and records. Clean data makes everything easier.
Who buys
Larger anesthesia groups, management companies and private equity-backed platforms. Some buy for scale, some for specific markets.
Get clean numbers first
Good billing data, collections by facility and payer, is the foundation of any valuation. If your reports can't show it, fix that before you talk to buyers.
