Questions · The desk

Selling or buying a healthcare business, answered plainly.

JKMG Group is a Dallas-based healthcare business brokerage, established in 2014, that handles healthcare M&A on an asset-sale basis. The desk represents owners selling physician practices, pharmacies, labs, agencies, and senior-care businesses, and buyers acquiring them, across Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, and other U.S. markets by engagement. These are the questions owners and buyers ask before a first call.

01Selling a healthcare practice or business

What is my medical practice worth?

It depends on normalized EBITDA or owner earnings, revenue, specialty, payer mix, provider dependence, growth, regulatory risk, and current buyer demand, not one generic multiple. The free indicative range on this site takes about sixty seconds, and a senior-reviewed estimate follows within one business day. You can run either before deciding anything about a sale.

What types of healthcare businesses does JKMG sell?

Physician practices in primary care, internal medicine, cardiology, podiatry, and optometry; pharmacies; laboratories, including molecular diagnostics and toxicology; imaging centers; hospice and home health agencies; senior care, including assisted living; DME companies; and healthcare technology businesses. Current mandates run from roughly $200K to $20M in transaction size.

Do I need to be ready to sell before contacting JKMG?

No. Owners often reach the desk two to three years ahead of a planned retirement, which leaves time to clean up financial reporting, reduce owner dependence, and fix operating issues before a buyer sees the numbers. A first conversation is confidential and carries no obligation.

How long does it take to sell a medical practice or pharmacy?

Roughly a year end to end. Once a mandate is live, sell-side processes in physician practice and pharmacy typically run six to ten months from intake to close. The slowest step is almost always how quickly the seller can produce diligence items.

Can I keep working after I sell?

Yes. Many healthcare transactions include a transition period or continued employment for the selling physician or owner. The terms depend on the buyer, your objectives, compensation, and what the practice needs to keep running.

Can I sell only part of my business?

Often, yes. A recapitalization lets an owner take partial liquidity while keeping a stake and continuing to operate. JKMG runs full-sale and recap engagements and lays out both before you choose.

Do I have to sell to private equity?

No. The buyer pool for a healthcare business includes individual physicians, healthcare operators, regional groups, strategic acquirers, family offices, and private-equity-backed platforms. The desk maps that universe to your objectives instead of defaulting to one buyer type.

What happens to my patients and staff after a sale?

Continuity is usually central to the deal. Buyers tend to keep experienced clinical and administrative staff because continuity protects value, and transition planning covers provider coverage, patient communication, medical records, payer and referral relationships, and your post-closing role. Where the owner is the main provider, the first recommendation is to hire an employed provider who will stay on after the sale.

02Valuation and preparing for sale

What increases the value of a medical practice?

Sustainable profitability on clean financials, a recurring patient panel, a favorable payer mix, provider coverage beyond the owner, diversified referral sources, compliant operations, capable management, and room to add providers or ancillary services. Heavy owner dependence works against you.

Is my practice valued on revenue or EBITDA?

Both, depending on size. Smaller owner-operated practices are often evaluated on revenue and owner earnings; larger businesses on normalized EBITDA, meaning earnings adjusted for nonrecurring, discretionary, and owner-specific expenses that would not continue under new ownership. A proper valuation weighs several methods, never one formula.

What documents will I need to sell my practice?

Tax returns, profit-and-loss statements, balance sheets, payroll and provider compensation, payer mix, production and collections reports, accounts receivable, leases, licenses, contracts, and compliance records. The exact diligence package depends on the type of healthcare business, and having it ready early is the single biggest time saver.

03Buyers and the transaction process

How does JKMG find buyers?

Through a targeted buyer universe built for each mandate: JKMG's own buy-side clients, strategic acquirers, sponsors and platform companies, healthcare operators, and other qualified buyers, reached through direct outreach. The goal is a controlled process, not a public posting that waits for inquiries.

What is a letter of intent?

A letter of intent, or LOI, sets out the principal terms a buyer proposes: purchase price, transaction structure, financing, working capital, seller transition, exclusivity, diligence scope, and closing conditions. Signing one is what moves the process into confirmatory diligence.

Is the highest offer always the best offer?

Not always. Read the whole structure: cash at closing, financing contingencies, earnouts, rollover equity, working-capital targets, employment terms, real estate, and indemnification. Two offers with the same headline price can leave you with very different outcomes.

What happens after I accept an LOI?

Confirmatory diligence, legal documentation, financing, and any licensing or regulatory steps, then closing. JKMG coordinates all of it through close and into transition planning; the work does not end when an offer lands.

04Buying a healthcare business

Can JKMG help me buy a medical practice or healthcare business?

Yes. The desk runs buy-side engagements, including platform searches and add-on acquisitions, for healthcare operators, independent physicians, family offices, and sponsor-backed groups. It can also return an indicative valuation range on a target you are already looking at.

05Working with JKMG

What makes JKMG different from a traditional business broker?

Healthcare only, run from an operator's seat. The Founder built and ran healthcare companies before brokering them, and every engagement stays senior-led from preparation through buyer outreach, negotiation, diligence, and closing. Inquiries go to the CEO and Founder first, not to associates.

Does JKMG only work in Dallas-Fort Worth?

No. JKMG is based in Dallas with most of its activity in Dallas-Fort Worth and North Texas, and has run engagements across six states, including current mandates outside Texas.

How confidential is the process?

Confidential by default. Opportunities go to market as de-identified one-page teasers with no practice name, and financials, location detail, and identity are released only to qualified buyers after a signed NDA. Your staff do not need to know a process is underway.
