7 of 10 DCs Plan to Exit their Practice in the Next 10 Years

What if everything they know about exiting is wrong??"

According to the Exit Strategy Institute, 73% of business owners plan to exit their companies in the next 10 years. Most chiropractors assume they will find a young doctor to associate and eventually buy the practice. But successions of this structure fail more often than they succeed, leaving the legacy of many chiropractic practices (and access to chiropractic care in many communities) in jeopardy.

Crystal’s presentation was incredibly insightful and informative. She has deep knowledge and compassion, as well as ability to explain complex concepts in clear, engaging language

– Scott S, Palmer University

Leaders in the chiropractic community are all-too-familiar with the heartbreak that comes when an exhausted, retirement-ready chiropractor tries to sell their practice, but a lack of planning and preparation has rendered their practice unsellable.

Without education on the complexities of a practice sale, as more chiropractors hit retirement age, the profession is at a critical juncture where many practices will just cease to exist.

Crystal’s presentation was outstanding…Her lecture clearly explained one of the most important decisions that we’ll make in our careers

- Dr. Chip S, Florida Chiropractic Association

And what about the newest generation of chiropractors?

The pressures on young chiropractors are equally great. High student loan debt, inflation, and fierce competition hinder young chiropractors. Buying a practice can offer stability, or it can lead to devastating and costly mistakes if not approached carefully.

But when a practice closes the next generation of chiropractors loses the opportunity to take over an established practice, which is by far the safest and most effective way for them to get out from underneath the unprecedented $300,000 student loan debt for a new DC graduate.

Thank you so much for all of the valuable information you shared about buying a practice, it made the whole conference worth it for me.
