Exit Planning for Podiatry Business Owners

Exit 360 Pathfinder™ is a practical and highly effective tool used to help you as a podiatry business owner to:

• objectively take stock of what you have and to gain a true understanding of your full range of options and key considerations
• empower you to select, plan and execute the timing and pathway which delivers on your personal goals to ensure you achieve the optimal exit outcome and maximum value from your business

The Process

Podiatry Business Central’s Exit 360 Pathfinder™ is an exit planning process that puts business owners into a position of knowledge in key areas, allowing you to make a fully informed decision based on clear facts.  The comprehensive Exit 360 Pathfinder™ report will:

• provide a technical and a marketing valuation of your business
• give you an objective and impartial appraisal of the genuine realisable value of your business, factoring in market and competitive forces
• analyse your operating KPIs and your service delivery capacity to determine how effectively and efficiently you are currently running your business and its future upside potential
• determine the most appropriate staffing levels across the entire business
• analyse the structure and presentation of your accounts
• consider your trading style and the portfolio of clinical services you offer
• produce a commentary on your product and services pricing strategy
• assess your property situation – whether freehold or tenancy
• analyse your marketing presence – with particular emphasis on your online presence – web and social media

The above detailed analysis results in a series of recommendations on which aspects of your business you should consider improving or reengineering to add value for when the time comes to sell.

The Exit 360 Pathfinder™ report also signposts you to the pros and cons of the options available to you as a business owner to help you plot your optimal path to executing a successful exit strategy.

We also provide you with an assessment of the potential barriers to purchase for external parties and provide a plan to proactively address these to ensure maximum appeal to the market and an expedited transaction process once a sale has been agreed.

Common Questions addressed by the Exit 360 Pathfinder™ service

• What is my practice worth? Can I actually afford to sell?
• What price and sales terms could I genuinely achieve if I went to market right now?
• Are there things that I can do now to make my business worth more in the future?
• What happens to my staff in a sale scenario and when should I tell them?
• Is it possible to reduce the time I spend running my business and still retain it as an income generating asset? (A ‘soft’ or partial exit)
• Can I trust other parties who have approached me to buy or that others are signposting me to?
• Are their potentially any strategic buyers out there who – if I positioned my business correctly – may be prepared to pay a premium price for my business in the future?
