Is Now the Right Time?
Optometry has been involved in the Private Equity world for almost 5 years now. While there is a small amount of saturation in the Private Equity market, there is still a strong desire for it. Private Equity is a mechanism where money is used to fund the purchase of companies in essence, and then those companies are all rolled up into a consolidated whole. That consolidated whole is then flipped and sold to somebody else.
With peer-to-peer transitions, we are seeing some stabilization in the purchase price of practices and in some markets a slight downward pressure on the value that is being placed on Optometric practices. So, in other words, if you are thinking about selling your practice to Private Equity,
THE TIME IS NOW!
