Owner is offering me a 20% buy-in for $400k. Practice does about $2.5M annually, he says EBITDA is around $600k.
The terms:
- $400k upfront (I'd need to finance)
- 20% of profits after that
- 5-year buyout option for remaining 80%
- Non-compete within 10 miles for 3 years if I leave
This feels like a lot of money for 20% and the non-compete is scary. Am I being paranoid or is this actually a bad deal?
