How We Help You Sell Your Speech Therapy Practice

Selling a speech 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 setting and contracts...

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

• School Contracts – Guaranteed volume...
• Clinic Utilization – Full schedules...

The Process

Preparing to Sell Your Speech Therapy Practice

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

Valuation: SDE & EBITDA

Valued on SDE. Replace owner production cost...

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 speech therapy practice?

Yes. We specialize in connecting owners of speech 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 speech therapy practice businesses valued?

Most small and mid-sized speech 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 speech therapy practice?

Working with a Speech 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.

Are school contracts valued differently than clinic work?

Yes. School contracts offer guaranteed volume but lower margins. Clinic work has higher margins but higher cancellation rates. A blend of both is ideal for valuation.

Can I sell if I am the only therapist?

It is difficult because the goodwill is tied to you personally. We recommend hiring at least one other SLP before selling to prove the business can run without you.

What about billing and AR?

You keep the money owed to you (AR) at the time of close. The buyer takes over billing for new sessions. This gives you cash flow even after you exit.

Does my brand name transfer?

Yes. If you have a strong local reputation among pediatricians, that brand equity is a major part of what the buyer is paying for.
