A useful perspective.
A clearer way forward.
The presenters were concise, very knowledgeable but also approachable.
…having the experience of all 3 session presenters to bounce industry-specific ideas off.
START WITH WHAT YOU WANT
A detailed Exit Plan.
Built around your clinic.
You may be thinking about a sale, bringing someone into ownership, or gradually stepping back. The right path depends on your business and what you want life to look like afterwards.
We start with an assessment of your clinic. Then we work with you to develop a detailed, bespoke Exit Plan that connects your goals with the decisions and changes needed to get there.
How the plan comes togetherKnow where you stand
Understand your current value, the assumptions behind it and the issues a buyer will want to explore.
Make the business less dependent on you
Strengthen leadership, team continuity and the systems that keep the clinic running.
Choose a pathway that fits
Consider buyer types, succession options, deal preferences and your role after a transition.
Know what to do next
Leave with priorities for the next 90 days and a roadmap for the longer term you can keep reviewing.

Full day · In person
Do I need to be ready to sell now?+
No. The program is designed to give you time to prepare. You might be looking one to five years ahead, considering internal succession or still deciding what you want.
What kind of clinic is it suited to?+
Established allied health clinics with a team and enough time to work on the business before an exit. As a guide, the program is generally aimed at clinics with revenue of at least $750,000 and a team of five or more. If you’re unsure, discuss your circumstances with Paul.
Is an assessment included?+
Yes. Your initial clinic assessment establishes the starting point for your plan, including your approximate current valuation and the priorities to address.
Can my business partners participate?+
Yes. The program fee covers one clinic and includes multiple owners from that clinic.
What time should I set aside?+
The Adelaide kickoff day, six monthly webinars and six monthly mentoring sessions of one hour. Allow time between sessions to work on your plan and agreed actions; the amount will depend on your clinic’s priorities.
What if I decide not to sell?+
Your plan should still help you make decisions about profitability, leadership, systems and your own role. It can evolve as your priorities and timing change.
