Mastering Niche Market Exit Planning

Selling a Nuclear Medicine Practice

Economic uncertainty influences the timing of many nuclear medicine practice sales. But based on what we're seeing in the business-for-sale marketplace, we don't think economic conditions should deter you from putting your nuclear medicine practice on the market.

Business buyers face their own set of frustrations and complications. Capital is scarce and many buyers simply can't afford the entry requirements for a nuclear medicine practice.

If you're ready to move on, now is the right time to sell your nuclear medicine practice.

Average Timeframes

Hoping for a quick nuclear medicine practice sale? You may be disappointed. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules about the length of time your business will be on the market. Pricing plays a role in sale length, but there are no guarantees that a fairly priced business will sell quickly. To adequately prepare your business listing, plan on spending six months to a year prior to listing. In a good market, an attractive nuclear medicine practice can sell in as little as a few months, although it can take more than a year to find the right buyer after the business is listed.

Selecting a Broker

First-rate business brokers deliver prospects and profits to their clients. In the nuclear medicine practice industry, experience is a must-have characteristic for qualified brokerage. The best brokers should also come with a list of references, a demonstrable track record and a proven plan for selling nuclear medicine practices.

How to Skillfully Address Buyer Concerns

It's a common scenario: in an effort to perform a thorough due diligence process, buyers flood nuclear medicine practice sellers with questions and requests, often to the point of becoming a nuisance. The questions nuclear medicine practice ask during due diligence are designed to alleviate their concerns about the business and should be promptly addressed by the seller. Avoid answering buyer concerns with vague generalities. Instead, be as specific as possible, even if it means doing additional research before offering a response. Refer to the Letter of Intent to determine how to wrap up due diligence and move the buyer on to closing.
