Most Physicians Don’t Plan Their Exit — And It Costs Them
78% of Business Owners (Including Medical Practices) Have No Formal Exit Strategy

Without a structured plan, most physicians either delay their exit or are forced to accept unfavorable terms when the time comes.
This often leads to unnecessary tax exposure, lower sale prices, and years of lost opportunity.

The majority of unsold practices fail due to poor financial documentation, weak business structure, or unrealistic pricing.
