Jillian Lam, Business Development Manager, & Steve Tolger, VP of M&A ”  Partnership through acquisition for any practice owner is not an easy decision but partnering with the right organization like Alliance Physical Therapy Partners, can help with the transition process every step of the way.  We understand the importance of establishing a relationship with practice owners and building a solid foundation from the start. The Alliance team is by your side the entire way, from initial interest discussions to the day of handing over the reins to your practice, guiding and answering questions throughout the progression of partnership. Becoming part of our Alliance includes several steps.

TIMELINE

The Alliance Partnership Process

Build relationship between the practice and Alliance

Just as you would require in your personal life, finding a partner who has similar values and culture is non-negotiable. In the early stages of interest, our team and the private practice owner have numerous conversations to get to know each other - building rapport and trust.

  • Series of 45- to 60-minute calls designed to make introductions and provide history of both organizations
  • Discuss goals and the ideal partnership
  • Q&A on any topic is fair game

Exchange pertinent information

We ask the owner to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) to protect the practice's privacy. Our team will request financial and operational data to review that include:

  • Historical financials
  • Key metrics
  • Basic practice information

Assess and value private practice

During this step, we'll discuss financial data and key metrics.

  • Growth strategy and ownership structure of transaction
  • Initial due diligence and findings

Enact Letter of Intent and full-scale due diligence

Letter of Intent is delivered to practice owner. If the offer is accepted, conversations and diligence continue and include.
