OM DENNE EPISODE
Two PT practices with the same earnings can end up with very different results: one gets a strong offer, the other gets none. The difference is almost always the quality of your EBITDA.
In this episode, Paul Martin, President of Martin Healthcare Advisors, explains how acquirers value a practice using two numbers, EBITDA and the multiple. On $1 million of EBITDA, the gap between a 4x and a 6x multiple is $2 million. What moves that multiple is how much an acquirer trusts your earnings to keep coming after you step back.
Paul covers the five drivers that raise or lower your multiple, why a quality of earnings review is the moment every weak spot shows up, and how to get your numbers ready well before you go to market.
