As a practice sales specialist, the most common question I am asked by practice owners is: “What’s my practice worth?” Not too surprising, potential buyers most often ask: “How much should I pay for a practice?” So, how do buyer and sellers determine the value of a practice?

  2. Combination of Assets and Net Earnings
  3. Multiple of Net Earnings (SDE)
