  • When Your Practice Sale Falls Apart: What This Owner Did Next
    Dec 11 2025

    Failed sale. No clear exit. Limited options… or so it seemed.

    Most healthcare practice owners think they only have two paths:

    👉 Sell to an associate

    👉 Or sell to corporate

    But what happens when a corporate deal falls apart and you still want freedom, security, and options?

    In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Eric Miller sits down with Paul Silovsky, CEO of Rebound Physical Therapy, to unpack how he navigated a failed sale, rebuilt his vision, and created a brand-new set of exit options — without giving up control of his practice or his household income.

    You’ll discover:

    - Why most owners give away their power of choice when it comes to exiting

    - What really happened when Paul’s first corporate deal fell through

    - How he redesigned his practice so it could financially support his family for years

    - The pros and cons of selling to an associate vs. selling to corporate

    - How to think about internal sale, owner financing, and long-term cash flow

    - Why starting exit planning years before you sell gives you maximum leverage

    If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know how I’ll get out of this practice without blowing up my lifestyle,” this conversation is a must-watch.

    CHAPTERS:

    00:00 Intro – Why exit options matter

    01:05 How Paul realized he needed more choice

    04:10 The first corporate deal and why it failed

    10:45 Rebuilding the practice with a new vision

    16:30 Internal sale vs. corporate: pros and cons

    24:00 Protecting your household income after exit

    32:00 Exit strategy mistakes healthcare owners make

    38:45 Paul’s advice if you’re 5–10 years from exit

    Dec 5 2025

    Most owners spend more time planning a vacation than their practice exit—and it’s a costly mistake. In this episode, Eric Miller and advisor Zach Abbotoni break down the money side of your exit: who to sell to, how your practice is valued (EBITDA & add-backs), your “magic number” for a successful retirement, and how to structure a deal so you keep more and reduce risk.

    * Associate vs Corporate buyer: cash at close, control, risk, and culture

    * Valuation 101: adjusted earnings (EBITDA), add-backs, and premium/discount factors

    * Deal structures: cash at close, joint venture (retain equity), private stock (A/C shares), earn-outs—and what to watch out for

    * Real-estate & lease terms, team retention bonuses, and tax/flow considerations

    * The Wealth Gap: quick math to confirm if today’s offer funds your next 30 years

    Chapters:

    00:00 Why most exits underperform

    03:00 How practices are really valued (EBITDA & add-backs)

    08:30 Buyers: Associate vs Corporate
