When it comes to selling your Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Podiatry, Psychology, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy or other type of allied health practice or even your GP clinic it can be an exciting time. Once you have decided that you will go on the market, it is easy to think solely about the revenue that comes with the sale. However, selling a clinic can come with its own set of costs. Knowing what these costs are will help you budget throughout the selling process.

• Repairs

There are varying degrees of repairs that can have an impact of the value of your practice. Cosmetic fixes like improving your landscaping will do wonders for your curb appeal. Painting and decluttering helps to present the clinic in the best light for buyers. Larger projects like replacing medical equipment, treatment beds, computers plus your server are a more significant investment but can increase your practice’s value.
