What is an eValuation?
Our eValuation is a comprehensive report that provides a “snapshot” of your profit picture and the price of similar practices we’ve brokered over the past year.
How is my practice’s profitability calculated?
Our team evaluates your profitability through our two-tiered process that includes a comparison of prior sales and EBITDA Normalization. Ackerman Group’s extensive database of prior practice sales allows us to compare more precisely, while normalizing EBITDA gives corporate buyers a better view into your practice’s true future earnings capability.
What does the eValuation process entail?
After submitting the above form, a member of our team will contact you within 24 hours to review the process, request documents, and send you a signed non-disclosure agreement. Once our team receives all requested reports, we will analyze and compile your practice’s official eValuation report within 10 business days. Ackerman Group will set up a time with you to discuss the results, provide guidance, answer questions, and consider next steps. You will receive the eValuation report after meeting with our team.
Why do I need to provide additional reports?
Every practice is different, and the market is ever-changing. This is why we don’t rely on ready-made algorithms or calculators when evaluating your business. At Ackerman Group, we require considerable information about your practice in order to provide the most accurate and comprehensive eValuation report.
