  Partnership
Have Us Develop One For You That Lasts
 

 
We Help Create A Satisfying Practice Arrangement. Most doctors seem to forget that professional practice partnerships have great elasticity. By that we mean that there are a variety of options available to creating the structure of the partnership. We are experts at identifying what the parties desire, what the underlying practice can provide and matching it with traditional or more creative options. With a tailored partnership for the doctors and practice involved it provides a wonderful and satisfying practice arrangement.

What Is Right For You: Developing A Shorter Term Buy-out Or A Longer Term Buy-in? Is the current doctor owner or group looking toward a doctor leaving in the near future or is there interest in the doctor continuing with the practice for many years? Is the younger professional prospect interested in a modest equity interest or equal equity partnership interest? Stating the expectations of the parties relating to a variety of foundation and qualifying issues, including those above, allows for an intelligently designed partnership relationship to be developed. It is part of our mission to develop professional practice partnerships that last for the time period necessary to effectuate the parties' goals. The partnerships should give the doctors, the staff, the patients and referral sources the confidence that the partnership is stable.

We have a solid record of helping doctors develop their professional practice partnerships. We coordinate our affiliates in providing professional third party practice valuation, cash flow projections to illustrate the financial and tax terms, comprehensive terms for the entire period of the relationship whether short or long, whether starting with an associateship or starting with a partnership and when there is a planned sale and eventual hire back of a practice founder.
For Practice Owners We Provide Prospect / Practice Evaluation And All Key Documents. We act to coordinate the steps the practice owner should be taking to find, qualify and present an opportunity to prospects, including comprehensive opportunity binders, practice valuation, compensation distribution, terms letter and document sets. Younger professionals have many practice equity opportunities today and we take seriously developing a professional package for the younger professional and their advisors to evaluate the practice partnership opportunity.

For Younger Professionals We Provide Opportunity Review and Guidance. On behalf of younger professionals we help to review and evaluate proposals, buy-in or buy-out arrangements, compensation distribution, tax structure, benefits, and the potential path of the relationship as well as help locate local counsel and accounting assistance.

How We Help You Establish Your Associateship Relationship.
  • We Provide Prospect / Practice Evaluation. In our view this is the critical starting point for professional practice relationships. Without an objective review of what a particular prospect offers, consideration of whether there is a fit with both the practice and the opportunity the possibility exists for all parties to misjudge intentions and expectations.

  • We Assess The Potential Future Path of the Relationship and Provide "Start to Finish" Coordination. A primary part of starting a formal engagement is to use a process, proven terms, proven agreement provision and more. We use the Practice Transition / Succession Planning to Ensure the Future Program.

We do not know of another more successful approach to developing partnership practices. See our outstanding Testimonials. To schedule your consultation click here or call us at 800-999-8121.
