There is more money chasing physician practices and other healthcare enterprises than at any time in history. Whereas previous consolidations in the industry, such as those that occurred in the 1990's, were led by public companies, Private Equity is taking the lead in the current market. Nonetheless, much of the chatter about valuations can be misleading due to the impact of transaction structure on value and future physician compensation. The course gives you insight into how healthcare appraisers use Private Equity transaction in valuing medical practices and how you can advise your clients or organization.
What you will learn:
- Basics of Private Equity firm goals and approaches.
- There is NO value to goodwill unless it generates a cashflow!
- Where does the EBITDA come from?
- How the CPA or financial advisor should approach analysis of an offer.
- The importance of working capital and the many traps for the unwary.
- What is a “platform” and why does it matter?
