You want to sell your acupuncture practice? Then it's good to know what the takeover market in the field of acupuncture practices looks like.
The healthcare industry is under pressure and, as a result, the number of consolidations in the ambulatory healthcare industry is high.
There are many ways to value a business. A common method of expressing the value of a business is "a factor x gross annual profit." This factor is also called multiple and another designation for gross annual profit is EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization).
In the healthcare & pharma sector, which includes an acupuncture practice, an indicative EBITDA multiple range of 5.90 to 6.90 is currently used, according to the Brookz Takeover Barometer. The average EBITDA multiple across all SME sectors is 4.90.
The valuation of a business is often the starting point for negotiations between buyer and seller. The outcome of these negotiations is the final sales price. So valuation and price are two different quantities. Besides valuation, the price is also determined by possible scarcity in the market, bargaining power of the parties, the strategic value of the business for the buyer and possible synergy effects for the buyer (cost savings, purchasing advantages).
Do the calculation
There are many self-employed people in this sector, and as a result, the number of businesses with one person working is extremely high.

A number of trends and developments will inevitably cause changes in the coming years, but also offer acupuncture practices many growth and acquisition opportunities:
Our healthcare system is primarily set up to fix consequences. Reactive policy instead of preventive policy. And as a result, the source of a disease is by no means always addressed. Fortunately, a turnaround is visible here and attention is increasingly shifting toward other factors that can cause a particular disease.
Blood values, weight, moods, sensors and apps provide a lot of data from consumers; just from the home. This allows for preventive intervention, but it also contributes to issues in healthcare when it comes to waiting lists. Paying more attention to your own body also allows for more research into cures other than conventional care.
There are too few skilled healthcare specialists, which means an even greater shortage will develop in the market in the coming years. During the global pandemic, it showed how bad the staffing situation in healthcare is, but this is only the tip of the iceberg, according to Healthcare Vision.
