4 Key Things to Know to Sell a Therapy Clinic in 2025

1. Buyers Closely Evaluate Owner Involvement Before Making an Offer

If you're deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of your speech or occupational therapy clinic, it could lower your valuation. Buyers want businesses that can run without the owner present. Documented processes and strong middle management increase your attractiveness to buyers.

2. Recurring Client Volume Boosts Clinic Value

Speech and occupational therapy clinics with consistent weekly appointments—especially private pay or insurance-based—are more valuable. This recurring revenue gives buyers confidence in post-sale cash flow.

3. Staff Retention Is a Critical Deal Factor

High therapist turnover scares buyers. If your team is stable, with licensed clinicians under long-term contracts, it shows operational health and reduces transition risk.

4. Clean Financials = Higher Offers

Accurate, clearly categorized financial statements (at least 3 years’ worth) are essential. Also, personal expenses should be clearly identified so buyers can determine true earnings.
