Medical business brokers

As specialist medical & dental business brokers, we cover the full breadth of the healthcare market: dental practices and dental clinics, orthodontic and specialist dental practices, medical practices and medical centres, GP clinics and family medicine practices, specialist medical practices, skin cancer and cosmetic medical clinics, allied health practices and multi-disciplinary allied health facilities, physiotherapy practices, radiology and diagnostic imaging practices, podiatry practices, speech therapy practices, psychology and mental health practices, occupational therapy practices, exercise physiology practices, optometry and audiology practices, veterinary practices, pharmacies, day surgeries and NDIS healthcare practices (brokerage and sale). We handle leasehold operations and freehold-with-practice sales, solo-practitioner clinics and multi-site groups, from independent small-to-medium practices up to large corporate firms.

Value is driven by your normalised earnings, active patient base and recall rate, billings mix and funding sources, practitioner contracts and retention, your lease terms and equipment, and your accreditation and compliance position. We provide a confidential, no-obligation appraisal that benchmarks your practice against recent comparable sales rather than a rule-of-thumb multiple, and we can prepare a formal valuation where you need one for the ATO, family law, a partnership dispute or an acquisition.

We are fully licensed and active in NSW, QLD, Victoria and South Australia, and we are strong in all the major metros and key regional hubs. Benchmark also has offices and brokers right across Australia, so buyers are sourced nationally and internationally regardless of where your practice trades.

Well-prepared practices with clean financials and a stable practitioner team often attract offers within a few weeks, with settlement typically following in two to six months depending on finance, due diligence, lease assignment and any regulatory or accreditation steps. Preparation before listing is the single biggest factor in a fast sale.

Most practices sell as a leasehold operation, with the lease assigned to the buyer. If you own the premises, we can sell the freehold with the practice as a package, or sell the practice and retain the property as an investment with a lease in place. We will advise which structure attracts the strongest buyers in your circumstances.

Buyers are usually buying continuity, so retaining your associates, contractors and support staff is normally in everyone’s interest. We review service agreements, employment contracts and entitlements early, structure the transaction to support continuity, and manage when and how your team is told.

No. Confidentiality is central to how we work. Your practice is marketed without being named, every buyer signs a confidentiality agreement before receiving details, sensitive material is released through a secure data room, and you decide if and when to tell your team. Most of our sellers announce the sale only once it is done.

Buyers will check practice accreditation, Ahpra registrations for all practitioners, infection control and sterilisation records, radiation licensing where relevant, privacy and clinical records handling, and any NDIS or program registrations. Getting records in order before listing removes risk from the buyer view and protects your price. Your broker will flag what is worth addressing up front.

Buyers range from individual practitioners stepping into ownership, to established local practices expanding, through to corporate groups, dental and medical service organisations, and healthcare investors, both Australian and international. We market confidentially into our proprietary database and vet every party for financial strength and commercial fit before they reach you.

Fees are agreed up front and are typically a combination of a marketing contribution and a success commission payable on settlement. There are no hidden charges. Your broker will walk you through the full engagement before you commit to anything.

Yes, and it is in your interest to. A practice trading consistently, with your practitioners and patient bookings in place, demonstrates the earnings buyers are paying for and keeps momentum through due diligence to settlement.
