Exit readiness
Most practices and groups go to market before they are ready.
Buyers price what they can evidence. Anything they can't verify becomes a discount or a retention. Exit readiness puts your practice or group through a buyer's diligence before a buyer does.
For practice and group owners. Whether you own one practice or fifty sites, buyers price the same seven areas.
