What common issues make a physical therapy or healthcare practice difficult to sell?

How can practice owners improve the appeal of their business to potential buyers?

In this episode of The Dave Kittle Show, Dave talks with Ruth Mannschreck, a business coach and retired dentist, about why some physical therapy practices may be hard to sell. Ruth explains common issues like relying too much on the owner, a single referral source, or one key employee. They also cover what makes a practice stand out to buyers, the need for solid systems, and how to prepare for growth. Ruth shares advice on adjusting your business to appeal to different types of buyers.
