Buy a Medical Practice
Why Buying an Established Medical Practice is a Smart Investment!
Purchasing an established healthcare facility comes with significant advantages, including the potential for immediate cash flow from an already operational business. Unlike starting a practice from scratch, an existing practice often allows you to bypass the initial growth phase, giving you a faster return on your investment.
However, it’s essential to understand that building and maintaining cash flow can still take several months. In some cases, it may take longer than expected to cover operational expenses. That’s why it’s crucial to plan ahead for financial challenges, including any unknown rates of attrition in patient or staff retention.
Ensure Financial Stability with Working Capital
If you require financing for your acquisition, ProMed Financial can help secure Working Capital as part of your loan package. This additional capital can provide a financial cushion to manage unforeseen expenses or fluctuations in revenue, especially if there are signs of potential negative cash flow.
Our specialized acquisition loan products also allow for the addition of working capital, as well as funding for equipment upgrades—essential components for ensuring a smooth transition into ownership.

Secrets of Buying a Medical Practice
Determining the right opportunity when buying a practice involves careful consideration of several key factors. Here are some essential questions to ask yourself:
- Location: How far away do I want to live from my practice?
- Facility Needs: How many treatment rooms do I need now and in the future?
- Financial Requirements: What are my financial needs and expectations?
- Guidance: Who can provide me with the experienced and professional support I need throughout the process?
Beyond the financial aspects, it’s vital to recognize the benefits of acquiring a practice with established systems already in place. Look for:
- Integrated Software Programs: Administrative processes that are functional and user-friendly.
- Trained Personnel: Staff who understand daily operations and are likely to remain under new ownership.
While it’s common for buyers to worry that employees might leave after the acquisition, many staff members actually view a new owner as an exciting opportunity for fresh ideas and improvements. They may be eager to contribute to a revitalized business.
Additionally, the seller will typically remain available for a mutually agreed-upon period post-sale, ensuring continuity and providing valuable insights during the transition. Their experience can help address questions you might not have thought of during your due diligence, making the process smoother and more informed.
By considering these factors, you can make a confident decision that aligns with your personal and professional goals.

When purchasing a medical practice, you’re not just making a transaction—you’re investing in your future. At ProMed Financial, we are committed to helping you find the perfect practice that aligns with your current needs and your long-term goals.
