Clarity, confidence, and control — built around your practice.
If you're a GP, medical specialist or dental practice owner, chances are your business represents one of your most significant financial assets. But do you know what it’s really worth?
At ASTUTEMED, we provide tailored healthcare business valuations for professionals who want to make informed decisions — whether you’re planning to buy a practice, preparing to sell, thinking about succession, or simply looking to grow your wealth.
WHY HEALTHCARE BUSINESS VALUATIONS MATTER FOR YOU
Running a medical or dental practice is different from running a general business. The value of a practice isn’t just tied to financial performance - it also depends on patient loyalty, referral networks, compliance with health regulations and the professional reputation of practitioners.
A medical practice valuation takes these industry-specific factors into account and offers insights that a generalist approach would miss. For practice owners, understanding true business value is critical when negotiating with buyers, planning retirement or securing finance. With so much of your personal wealth tied to your practice, an accurate healthcare business valuation helps you make decisions confidently.
COMMON SCENARIOS WE SUPPORT
Our healthcare business valuation services are ideal if you are:
- Buying into or acquiring a medical, dental or specialist practice 
- Preparing to sell or merge your business 
- Planning for retirement or succession 
- Looking to secure funding or restructure ownership 
- Wanting to track business value growth over time 
Whatever your reason, our approach ensures you have the correct data and support to move forward strategically.
REPEAT VALUATIONS FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH
A valuation isn’t just a once-off exercise. The value of a healthcare business shifts over time as patient demand changes, regulations evolve, or competitors enter the market. A medical practice valuation is most useful when it reflects current conditions, not outdated information.
We generally recommend reviewing your valuation every two to three years, or sooner if you are:
- Expanding your practice or opening new locations 
- Bringing in new partners or changing ownership structures 
- Preparing for succession or retirement planning 
- Responding to significant market or regulatory changes 
Regular healthcare business valuations allow you to track growth, identify risks early and keep your long-term strategy on course. When the time comes to negotiate, sell or secure funding, you can work with accurate and up-to-date insights.
PURPOSE-DRIVEN MEDICAL BUSINESS VALUATIONS
Our Business Valuation Service is designed specifically for healthcare practices. Whether you operate a medical clinic, specialist practice or dental surgery, we help you:
- Understand the current market value of your business 
- Identify opportunities to improve that value 
- Benchmark performance against similar practices 
- Make strategic decisions with confidence 
Healthcare practices are unique. A medical practice valuation looks beyond the balance sheet. We account for how your billing structure (Medicare vs private), staffing model and patient demand influence the sustainability and growth potential of your practice. By tailoring the process to the realities of healthcare, we deliver valuations that are both accurate and actionable.
We bring together financial insights, industry benchmarks and years of experience advising healthcare clients to provide a valuation that is both accurate and practical.

      Get started with short business risk and receive a personalised Business Valuation Scorecard — highlighting key value factors and risks specific to your practice. This initial step gives you a clear snapshot of how your practice performs against industry expectations. By identifying strengths and weaknesses early, you gain a practical roadmap of where to focus before moving into a full healthcare business valuation. The scorecard highlights financial and operational factors, such as patient flow stability, revenue diversity, staffing and compliance risks - all areas that directly influence practice value. 
- 
      
        
      
      This assessment is a comprehensive online questionnaire that we provide to clients. It offers a structured way to evaluate and understand a business's key risks and value drivers. Beyond being a critical step in determining the business’s current value, it also highlights opportunities and strategies that we, as advisers, can use to help grow that value. We assess non-financial factors that impact value, including: - Key person reliance - How dependent is the practice on one doctor or specialist? Over-reliance reduces value because it increases business risk. 
- Patient and referral sources - Strong referral networks and diverse patient bases make a practice more attractive to buyers and investors. 
- Staff retention and systems - High staff turnover signals instability, while clear processes and efficient systems add measurable value. 
- Industry-specific risks and growth potential - Regulatory changes, competition, and service demand all influence the long-term outlook. 
 By addressing these drivers, a medical business valuation goes beyond the numbers and provides a full picture of what supports or limits future growth. This assessment also uncovers intangible factors such as brand reputation, quality of clinical systems, and reliance on Medicare or private billing models, which generalist valuation methods often overlook.

      We adjust for non-commercial items — such as owner salaries, benefits, and once-off expenses — to reflect the underlying profitability of your practice. We base our valuation on true earning capacity, not distorted by discretionary spending or accounting treatments. For a medical practice valuation, accurate profit and cashflow analysis is key to understanding sustainable performance and the return a buyer or investor can reasonably expect. We highlight the difference between reported profit and actual cashflow available to the business to give owners clarity on real business performance. 
- 
      
        
      
      We use the largest and most reliable practice valuation databases to compare your business against others in your field. Benchmarking gives you perspective by highlighting how your practice measures up on revenue, expenses and profitability compared to similar operations. This provides context to your numbers and identifies areas where targeted changes could increase value, making your healthcare business valuation more meaningful and actionable. We focus on healthcare-specific datasets, ensuring comparisons reflect the realities of medical and dental businesses rather than generic small business averages. 
- 
      
        
      
      Our valuations comply with Australian accounting and valuation standards, providing reports you can rely on for legal, financial, strategic, and tax purposes. Whether you need documentation for lenders, investors or internal planning, you can trust that your valuation meets professional standards and can withstand external review. For medical professionals, this means confidence that the valuation holds weight in negotiations, succession planning or when facing regulatory scrutiny. 
OUR METHODOLOGY IN PRACTICE
Every practice has its own story, which is why our healthcare business valuations combine data with context. For example:
- A dental clinic preparing for sale may discover that investing in digital systems improves efficiency and increases sale value. 
- A GP practice bringing in new partners might need an updated medical practice valuation to fairly set buy-in terms. 
- A specialist practice considering expansion may benefit from benchmarking data that highlights growth opportunities compared to peers. 
These real-world applications show how a medical business valuation goes beyond compliance. Our service aims to empower owners to negotiate, plan and grow with clarity.
SUPPORTING YOUR LONG-TERM GROWTH
A valuation is just the beginning. We also offer tailored programs to help you build and protect the value of your practice over time:
- Benchmarking & performance reviews 
- Business improvement and advisory programs 
- CFO-level financial support 
- Governance and strategic planning sessions 
We partner with you — not just as valuers, but as advisers — focused on your long-term success.
