Key factors include financial performance, patient retention rates, equipment condition, and location demographics. We recommend examining at least 3 years of financial records, assessing the active patient base, evaluating the practice’s reputation, and understanding the local market dynamics.
The timeline for acquiring an optometry practice typically ranges from 4–8 months. This includes initial search, practice evaluation, negotiations, securing financing, and completing the transition. Our experienced team helps streamline this process while providing thorough due diligence.
Several financing options exist, including traditional bank loans, SBA loans, and seller financing. We can connect you with lenders experienced in optometry practice acquisitions who understand the unique aspects of practice ownership and can offer competitive terms.
Successful transitions require careful planning and execution. We recommend a structured transition period where the selling doctor remains available for consultation, staff retention strategies are implemented, and clear communication plans are established for patients and vendors.
A valuable practice investment typically shows consistent financial performance, strong patient retention, updated equipment, skilled staff, and opportunity for growth. We focus on practices demonstrating these characteristics along with potential for increased profitability through operational improvements.
