ASCs Inc. markets your surgery center to the right buyers:

Most surgery center owners want the highest price for their surgery center and a corporate partner that will grow the business and its profits. Whether you are selling a minority or majority interest, you want to sell to a partner with a track record of success that places a high value on your surgery center. With over 30 surgery center companies interested in investing in surgery centers, selecting the right buyers makes all the difference between an average price and a premium price. By selecting the right prospective buyer, sellers will realize a higher selling price and a partner that increases profits and distributions. ASCs Inc. advises and assists surgery center owners so that their center is professionally marketed to leading surgery center companies that are looking for specific types of centers. ASCs Inc. helps surgery center owners maximize the selling price by creating a competitive environment and by marketing the surgery center to the buyers that want to invest in your type of center.

Sell to a local hospital?

It often makes sense to consider selling your surgery center to the local hospital, or a 3-way deal with a hospital and a surgery center management company. Recently we have been helping clients form 3-way partnerships with ASC management companies and hospitals so their centers can realize significant increases in facility fees by accessing hospital contracts. To get the highest value, it is advisable to initially obtain purchase proposals from several leading surgery center companies so you will know the true market value of your surgery center. In a 3-way deal, the ASC management company usually agrees to buy 51% and then brings in a hospital partner that it shares ownership with so the physicians continue to own 49% and have the "best of both worlds". The management company provides ASC management services so that the center retains its efficiency and economies while the hospital provides access to its contracts that are typically 20% to 40% higher than the ASC's, and the 3-way deal results in higher revenue and profits from the current caseload.

ASCs Inc. negotiates with the ASC management companies and with the hospital on your behalf and will seek competitive bids so that you will benefit from a higher price and better deal terms.

How much does it cost to have ASCs Inc. assist in selling your
surgery center?

ASCs Inc. earns a small transaction fee, as specified in our Engagement Letter, when a transaction closes. There is no retainer and no other fees or expenses paid to ASCs Inc. If there is no closed deal, there is no transaction fee. Our goal is to increase your selling price so that our transaction fee is negligible compared to the increase in your selling price.
