“What’s It Worth? Planning for your future in a valuable way.”
Description: EBITDA... Margins... Multiples... Growth Levers... All common financial details used to calculate the value of a practice. And, value, like beauty, can be in the eye of the beholder. A glaringly obvious killer culture, stability, future income potential, and a proven and sustained market share are also things that matter not only to you but also to prospective partners and buyers. Also... a flush bank account never hurt anyone.
Let’s work together to create a limitless future by uncovering hidden growth, maximizing our quality of life now and down the road, and creating a solid exit strategy—whenever that is for you—now, or 30 years+ from now!!!
Learning Objectives:
Take a truly critical, behind the curtain, bare-it-all look at your practice and its procedures and ask:
- What is missing?
- What can we add?
- What is no longer serving us?
