Your Med Spa Exit Starts Before You're Ready to Leave

Thinking about private equity? Don't wait until you're burned out and ready to hand over the keys. A partner may want you involved for years after the deal.

I sit down with Andrew Goldfein of Alpha Aesthetics Partners to talk about what makes a practice partner-ready, what buyers look at, and why expanding just to get bigger can hurt your numbers.

Another Location Doesn't Automatically Add Value

That second location might grow revenue while draining profit. Before signing another lease, look at your margins, team retention, and whether the first practice can run without you constantly stepping in.

Know Your Numbers Before You Take the Meeting

A potential partner needs more than a healthy top-line revenue number. Get clear on:

Revenue and margins by service and location

Memberships and recurring revenue

Device utilization and profitability

Provider retention and operating costs

Your P&L should show what's working and where growth is costing you.
