PRIME exits Reveals Why Waiting to Sell Could Be a Million-Dollar Mistake for Healthcare Owners
United States, July 7, 2025 -- The PRIME exits Philosophy: Selling Healthcare Companies Requires Engineering, Not Reaction
For healthcare business owners—whether operating a medical group, a specialty dental practice, or a thriving behavioral health company—the decision to sell is rarely made lightly. It represents a life-changing turning point. Yet, at PRIME exits, too many owners approach this milestone reactively, driven by burnout, age, or sudden life events—situations where value often erodes.
Dr. Allen Nazeri, DDS, MBA, CM&AP—known to clients simply as 'Dr. Allen'—is the Managing Partner at PRIME exits, and a Managing Director at American Healthcare Capital. As a former clinician and serial healthcare entrepreneur turned investment banker, Dr. Allen founded PRIME exits to change how healthcare business owners approach their exits. PRIME exits is not just a healthcare M&A firm; it is a strategic advisor that supports over 52 healthcare verticals with proactive value engineering.
What PRIME exits Clients Gain in the Process of Selling Healthcare Companies
Reverse-Engineered Exit Strategies for Selling Healthcare Companies
Unlike firms that wait until financials are in order and a buyer list is assembled, PRIME exits begins with the end in mind. Each valuation is engineered by identifying inefficiencies, scaling potential, and structuring tax-smart solutions well before a business is listed. This reverse-engineering approach redefines the exit experience.
Healthcare-Only Specialization in Selling Healthcare Companies
While generalist M&A advisors operate across multiple industries, PRIME exits remains focused exclusively on healthcare. The team possesses deep knowledge of payer mix, clinical KPIs, regulatory risks, patient retention models, and EBITDA adjustments specific to physician, dental, behavioral, and home health practices.
Client-Friendly Contracts for Selling Healthcare Companies
PRIME exits operates on 30-day renewable agreements, allowing clients to stay because of performance—not legal entanglements. They also fund their own marketing campaigns, underlining confidence in their ability to deliver real results.
Confidentiality and Brand Protection in Selling Healthcare Companies
No co-brokering. No public ads. PRIME exits begins each process with blind summaries and strict NDAs, ensuring information is shared only with pre-qualified buyers. 'We've built PRIME exits to protect your brand while elevating your value,' says Dr. Allen.
Performance-Based Fees for Selling Healthcare Companies
PRIME exits charges no upfront retainers or consulting fees. Their compensation is contingent on success—motivating them to maximize every deal for both speed and valuation.
Market Access and Mandates in Selling Healthcare Companies
With over $1.2 billion in active sell mandates and a growing network of PE firms, strategic consolidators, and family offices, PRIME exits ensures clients are introduced to buyers who appreciate value beyond EBITDA.
Value Optimization and Selling Healthcare Companies at Peak Performance
Healthcare business owners often plan to sell 'someday,' but someday can be too late. PRIME exits emphasizes exiting while the company—and the founder—are operating at peak performance. Their methodology, referred to as Value Engineering, is designed to elevate operational value before buyers even see the business.
Outlined in Dr. Allen's book Value Engineering: Strategies to 10X the Value of Your Clinic and Dominate the Market!, this approach includes:
These steps can increase valuation premiums and ensure a smoother transition when the time to sell arrives.
Timing Matters: Avoiding the Risks of Delaying the Sale of Healthcare Companies
Dr. Allen highlights the '5 D's'—Death, Disability, Divorce, Disagreement, and Distress—as common triggers of rushed, low-value exits. These situations often catch founders unprepared, resulting in regrettable deals.
'With just 12–18 months of preparation, we can often increase the final sale value by 30–50%,' says Dr. Allen. Preparing early allows for cleaning up financials, training successors, de-risking the business, and presenting a compelling, growth-oriented story to buyers.
Strategic Representation in Selling Healthcare Companies
When working with PRIME exits, clients receive more than an M&A advisor. They gain a partner with firsthand operational, financial, and clinical expertise. Their blind and confidential approach preserves company reputation while driving buyer competition.
With private equity and strategic consolidators continuing to seek quality platforms, representation by advisors fluent in healthcare M&A ensures leverage during negotiations and premium closing values.
Selling Healthcare Companies on Your Terms While Leverage Remains
If a healthcare founder is operating with strong cash flow, a loyal team, and a stable patient base, that's when premium valuations are possible. Delaying until burnout or financial strain sets in only invites buyers looking to exploit distress.
At PRIME exits, early preparation, strategic positioning, and rigorous deal-making give clients the upper hand. Whether two or ten years from retirement, beginning today ensures a more successful tomorrow.
Start Planning Now: Selling Healthcare Companies Starts with a Valuation Opinion
Healthcare entrepreneurs considering a sale within the next 3–5 years are encouraged to seek an expert exit opinion—not just hire a broker. Dr. Allen and PRIME exits offer confidential sessions and free valuation opinions for qualified owners.

TSA to Let Some Passengers Keep Their Shoes On at Security
The change is a major shift in policy for the TSA. The agency had required passengers to remove their shoes since August 2006. The Transportation Security Administration has started to quietly drop the requirement for passengers to remove their shoes at several airports across the U.S., according to reports by multiple news outlets. The TSA has not confirmed the change in policy. 'TSA and DHS are always exploring new and innovative ways to enhance the passenger experience and our strong security posture,' TSA said in a statement to Skift. 'Any potential updates to our security process will be issued through official channels.' The TSA had started trialing the policy at several airports, including Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Portland International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, and North Carolina's Piedmont Triad International Airport, according to a report from CBS News, which cited two sources familiar with the change. CBS also reported that some passengers flying out of LaGuardia Airport and Los Angeles International Airport on Monday were not required to take off their shoes. Those with TSA PreCheck were already not required to remove their shoes as part of an expedited screening process. Travelers have to apply for PreCheck and pay an $80 fee. TSA has required travelers to remove their shoes since 2006, roughly five years after a terrorist tried to detonate an explosive in his shoe while boarding a flight from Paris to Miami. The agency has sought to streamline the screening process in recent years. For example, the TSA has started implementing new Analogic scanners that use 3D imaging. WIth these machines, passengers typically don't have to remove their electronic devices from their luggage. At the 2024 Skift Global Forum, former TSA administrator David Pekoske said the agency started rolling out a program that doesn't require an additional security screening for travelers flying back from certain destinations to the U.S. What am I looking at?

This Fast-Casual Chinese Chain Is Beating Local Spots At Their Own Game
Let's face it: America's very fond of chain dining. Whether it's one of the best regional fast food chains or one of the ubiquitous giants, corporate eating covers every context. And both the cuisine and locations of such operations are rapidly evolving: It's not just about burgers or fried chicken anymore. And now, Pei Wei is once again changing the game. Since starting some 25 years ago in Arizona, the chain operates over a hundred locations all across the country. During their first decade of preparation, several factors set them apart. They were among the earliest corporate adopters of gluten-free and allergy sensitive dining. And the interior is sleek, but still casual, with a convenient counter service model that saves costs. Last -- but certainly not least -- for easy-going Pan-Asian fare, the eclectic menu hits the spot: Think classics like orange chicken, Mongolian beef, as well Poke bowls, Thai-influenced curries, and more. Throw in affordable pricing, and such a combination of factors cemented their enduring growth -- a valued evidenced by their (and P.F. Chang's) acquisition for over a billion dollars in 2012. Such a scale cements Pei Wei as the second biggest player in Asian food. The more fast-food like Panda Express menu is the only company that more commercially successful. However, for many Americans, Pei Wei even beats out local, hole-in-wall options. Read more: Chain Restaurants That Serve The Highest And Lowest Quality Steak Pei Wei may have introduced you to classics like orange chicken, but the chain didn't invent Chinese-American cuisine. Instead, many items off their menu are adapted versions of fare that traces roots to 19th century California. It's here that Cantonese-run eateries -- especially densely cluttered in the Bay Area -- first created tasty and affordable dishes like chop suey. And the creation of orange chicken is accredited to Panda Express in 1987. So while Pei Wei does offer a few signature dishes like their protein bowls and salads, they mainly stick to tried and true Asian-American classics. Pei Wei broke into such a formula by way of P.F. Chang's, their more upscale counterpart chain which opened in 1993 (and now boasts a great happy hour). An innovator in specifically wok-driven dishes sold to American audiences, P.F. Chang's has enjoyed popularity since the 1990s, with their snazzy surroundings yet comforting fare. The parent company launched Pei Wei in 2000 to deliver simpler Asian-American classics in a more casual environment, with less overhead. The move proved hugely commercially successful, leading to the chain that still thrives today. Read the original article on Chowhound.
