PRIME LOCATION – EXCELLENT INFRASTRUCTURE – PROVEN GROWTH POTENTIAL
This is an independent multi-specialty facility, in the medical corridor, in Eastern Pennsylvania, about an hour west of NYC. The multi-specialty facility is state-of-the art, offering a full complement of services including neurology, interventional pain management, cardiology, multi-modal imaging, laboratory services, and physical therapy.
In 2015, the current owners bought this facility, which had closed its business in December 2013. The previous seller shut it down abruptly, due to what seemed at the time as a very serious, life-threatening health issue. Before he sold his practice that provided imaging services, neurology, pain management, sleep studies and more, the practice was grossing between $6-7 million and had an EBITDA was around $3 million. Looking at the very attractive infrastructure of the place, the current owner, who is a cardiologist, felt that he could revive the business by bringing in a right group of physicians, and once again can make it a thriving business.
Unfortunately, he was not able to get the right physicians on board, and he also had initial start-up problems – inherited equipment that didn’t quite work as advertised, property infrastructure problems such as leaky roofs, AC system, and generator system. The owner spent over a million dollars in upgrading the infrastructure ($900K in equipment and about $155K in the property repairs) and after three and a half years of hard work, has now brought the practice to a positive EBITDA. In 2018, the revenue was about $2.2 million, and EBITDA was about $192K. However, with the right physicians in place, it could have been a far better picture.
The owner is now 72 years old, and last year he had an accident that has affected his health. At this stage in life, he does not have the energy and desire that he had four years ago and feels that a more energetic group with more resources and medical personnel can take this far much faster than he can. It is ideal for a satellite clinic of a hospital, an urgent care center, a multi-specialty practice, a large imaging center, etc., The facility has all the resources to make it a thriving business for the right buyer.

REASON FOR SALE
The physician owner had ambitious goals of assembling a team of physicians and bringing the clinic back as a thriving business when he bought this in 2015. However, early start-up troubles including expensive upgrades to the equipment, inability to assemble the right team, and an accident in 2018 that has affected his health has taken a toll on him. He has brought the clinic now to positive EBITDA and has respectable revenue, but far short of what he thought he could achieve. He is now 72 years old and would like someone with more resources and energy to take over this clinic and make it a thriving business again.
