How We Help You Sell Your Occupational Therapy Practice

Selling a occupational therapy practice is different than selling a generic business. Buyers are looking for specific assets, contracts, and operational stability unique to your market.

Understanding Your Business Before Recommending a Broker

We start by analyzing referral networks...

Some owners are best served by local brokers who know the regional competition. Others, especially larger entities, may attract interest from regional consolidators or private equity groups. We help you find the right path.

Key Value Drivers for Buyers

• Specialization – CHTs drive value...
• Referral Base – Deep roots...

Valuation

What Drives the Value of a Occupational Therapy Practice?

Buyers scrutinize therapist Retention, referral & Payer Mix, and authorization & Schedule Fill.

Therapist Retention

OTs and COTAs with tenure and full caseloads are the practice. Buyers examine productivity per therapist and turnover history before touching the P&L.

Referral & Payer Mix

Diverse referral sources — physicians, schools, employers — and sustainable payer contracts anchor durability. Single-source referral dependence is priced as risk.

Authorization & Schedule Fill

Visit utilization against authorizations and schedule fill rates prove operational health. Cancellation and no-show management systems add transferable value.

Deep Dive: Recasting Your Occupational Therapy Practice Financials

To get the highest price, we work with brokers who "recast" your P&L to show the true Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA. In therapy practices, this involves specific adjustments:

Owner Clinical Production: Your treatment hours are restated at market therapist compensation so buyers see profit after clinical replacement.
Equipment & Buildout CapEx: Therapy equipment, sensory gyms, and clinic buildouts are capital investments added back to earnings.
One-Time Credentialing: Initial payer credentialing and EMR implementations are non-recurring investments.

Who is Buying Occupational Therapy Practices?

Therapy consolidation is steady, and clinical staffing depth drives every conversation.

1. Multi-Discipline Therapy Platforms: PE-backed PT/OT/Speech groups acquire practices with therapist benches and diverse referrals.

2. Regional Therapy Groups: Local practices merge for payer leverage and coverage, often the best clinical-culture fits.

3. Clinician Owner-Operators: OTs ready to own buy practices with SBA loans, valuing census stability and staff continuity.

Why Confidentiality is Critical

If therapists hear the practice is selling, staffing agencies recruit them immediately — and caseloads follow therapists. If referral sources hear, patterns quietly shift.

Our Approach: We market census, payer mix, and staffing depth through blind profiles under strict NDAs — your practice identity is protected until buyers qualify.

The Process

Preparing to Sell Your Occupational Therapy Practice

Selling a occupational therapy practice requires organized records, clean financials, and a strategy to retain key staff or contracts.

Valuation: SDE & EBITDA

Valued on SDE. Referral loyalty matters...

We work with business brokers who will help you "recast" your financials, adding back owner benefits and one-time expenses to show the true profitability of the company.

Confidentiality is Key

You don't want competitors, employees, or customers to worry about a sale. Confidentiality is critical to maintaining your business value during the transition.

Our partner brokers utilize blind listings and strict NDAs to ensure your business is marketed discreetly. Employees and customers typically only find out once the sale is finalized and a smooth handover is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me sell my occupational therapy practice?

Yes. We specialize in connecting owners of occupational therapy practice with experienced business brokers who understand how to package and present your company to serious buyers while keeping the process confidential.

How are occupational therapy practice businesses valued?

Most small and mid-sized occupational therapy practice are valued using a multiple of SDE for smaller companies or EBITDA for larger ones. Clean financials, recurring revenue, documented systems, and a strong team can all increase the multiple buyers are willing to pay.

Do I need a specialized broker for my occupational therapy practice?

Working with a Occupational Therapy Practice business broker who regularly sells businesses in your size range and industry usually leads to better outcomes. They already know active buyers, what those buyers want to see, and how to position your business to maximize offers.

How do you value specialized therapy (Hand/Neuro)?

Specialized niches like Certified Hand Therapy (CHT) command premiums because reimbursement rates are higher and competition is lower than general OT.

What happens to my credentialing?

Credentialing is a major bottleneck. Buyers often prefer a stock sale so they can step into your existing payer contracts without a 90-day credentialing hold.

Is the facility equipment included?

Yes. Sensory gyms, hand tables, and therapy equipment are included in the asset sale. We ensure the build-out value is captured.

How long is the transition?

Typically 3-6 months. The focus is on introducing the new owner to your referral sources (orthopedic surgeons, schools) to ensure the pipeline stays open.
