Buying a Chiropractic Practice business
Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated
a Chiropractic Practice can look attractive on a summary P&L while the operating details underneath it change the cash flow, transferability and capital a buyer will actually own. Diligence should connect the reported earnings to the business-specific drivers that create them.
How the business works
Patient visits, cash/insurance mix, owner-doctor production, referral/marketing channels and associate capacity drive value.
Risks to test
- Owner-doctor dependence
- Marketing dependence
- Billing/compliance
- Associate retention
- Equipment/lease
- Patient churn after transfer
Evidence to request and reconcile
- Provider production
- Patient visit cohorts
- Payer/cash mix
- Marketing data
- Payroll/licenses
- Billing/AR
Decision questions
- How much production belongs to owner personally?
- What new-patient sources are durable?
- Will patients transition?
- What billing exposure exists?
- What associate capacity exists?
