Selling a Practice Is Not Listing a Practice

Generalist business brokers list practices the way they list restaurants: a teaser on a marketplace site, a price set by rule of thumb, and a hope that someone calls. Physicians deserve a process, not a listing. Nechay Advisors runs sell-side engagements built specifically for medical practices: the price is set with appraiser-grade analysis, a curated buyer process generates competing interest confidentially, and a CVA — not a salesperson — negotiates the structure that determines what you actually keep.

Why Valuation-Led Selling Wins

The price is defensible from day one. Your asking price is set by a Certified Valuation Analyst running the same normalized-earnings analysis a buyer's diligence team will run, not a rule-of-thumb multiple. When a buyer challenges an adjustment, we are the ones who made it, and we defend it line by line.

You learn sellability before buyers do. The valuation surfaces the three factors buyers underwrite — clean financials, transferability beyond your personal brand, and growth potential. If something needs fixing first, you'll know before the market does, not after a failed process marks your practice as shopworn.

Know Your Buyers

Each buyer type pays differently and wants different things:

  • Physician groups buy capacity and patient base; they move fast but pay practical prices.
  • Hospital systems buy referral alignment and network coverage; compliance constraints shape their offers, often toward employment-plus-asset structures.
  • Private equity / MSO platforms pay the strongest multiples for scale and provider leverage — typically with rollover equity and post-close compensation resets you must understand before comparing offers.
  • FQHCs acquire practices serving Medi-Cal and underserved populations, often mission-driven buyers others overlook.

A one-buyer process leaves money on the table. Our job is making the right several of them compete.

Confidentiality Is the Whole Game

A leaked sale process can cost you associates, staff, and referral relationships before any check clears. Every buyer signs an NDA before learning your identity; sensitive data moves through a structured data room in stages tied to demonstrated seriousness; your team learns about the transaction when you decide, not when a marketplace listing tells them.

What About After the Sale?

Most medical practice sales include a transition: weeks to months of introductions, charting handoffs, and sometimes continued clinical work. We negotiate transition terms you can actually live with — duration, compensation, schedule — because a seller who resents the transition is a deal that sours. Selling a surgery center instead?

From valuation to close — our three-step process

  1. 1

    Confidential Consultation

    A private, no-obligation conversation about your goals, your timeline, and what a successful exit looks like. We share an informed perspective on the current market for practices like yours, and you decide whether to move forward.

  2. 2

    Valuation & Positioning

    We perform a valuation of your practice, normalizing earnings and weighing real transaction data, to arrive at an asking price that reflects its fair market value. We then position the practice for the buyer types that fit your goals.

  3. 3

    Confidential Marketing & Sale

    We market the practice confidentially, under NDA, through our buyer network and targeted outreach to physician groups, hospital systems, private equity platforms, and FQHCs. We negotiate competing offers and structure the sale to protect your net proceeds.

Frequently asked questions

Most practice sales take six to twelve months from going to market to closing, depending on specialty, location, and buyer demand; diligence, financing, and credentialing drive the back half. Practices with clean financials and transferable operations move meaningfully faster, which is why the pricing and preparation stage matters.

A commission is paid at closing. Our standard rate is 10% for most practice sales, with a sliding scale on larger transactions. Your exact fee is confirmed in writing before you engage us.

Not from us. Strictly confidential marketing, NDA-gated buyer access, staged information release. Most teams learn of a sale when the seller announces a completed transition plan.

Yes — that’s often the most valuable structure. PE and hospital buyers generally prefer sellers who stay; negotiated post-close employment with defined terms can raise total proceeds while easing your transition into retirement on your schedule.

A single-buyer negotiation is where sellers concede the most. At minimum, get the certified valuation so you know what fair looks like; full representation adds negotiation leverage and — often — a second bidder that changes the first buyer’s posture entirely.
