QUOTES:
“If you are considering selling your practice, it is essential to know what EBITDA is because the value you can hope to achieve or get in the sale of your practice hinges largely on that number. EBITDA is the money left after you pay overhead and a reasonable doctor's compensation.” - Jonathan Martin
“Most doctors are looking to get cash at closing. Usually, that’s the biggest component. Before mid-2022, you could get up to 80% of the total purchase price paid in cash at closing. That is one of the most significant changes I’ve seen over the last year.” - Jonathan Martin
