The Business Case for Selling to Your Associate
Passing the reins to a trusted colleague secures continuity of patient care and preserves the practice culture. It also reduces the risk of the deal falling through. For many principals this blend of certainty and legacy makes an associate sale the preferred exit route.
Navigating Legal, CQC and Property Requirements
Our panel of solicitors manage NHS contract transfer, CQC re-registration, property particulars and TUPE staff obligations. They create and review contractual agreements and assess property enquiries ensuring that regulatory approvals are all in hand.
Your Transition Timeline – From First Conversation to Completion
A typical associate sale runs four to eight months from valuation to completion. We break the journey into clear milestones: valuation, finance, heads of terms, due diligence, contract signing, CQC approval and completion.
