OPTOMETRY PRACTICE EVALUATIONS

Make Educated Business Decisions by Understanding the Value of Your Practice

 

PECAA's valuation service, powered by strategic vendor partner Optometry Practice Valuations, is designed to empower providers to understand the value of their business. We'll walk you through your report results and help you understand what your numbers are telling you.

Knowledge is power. You can not grow what you can not measure. Upon completion of your valuation, you will not only know the value of your practice, but you will also understand what aspects of your business drive value and what you can do to increase value. Once your valuation report has been finalized, we will walk you through as much or as little of your results as you wish. Perhaps you want to have your CPA, partner or attorney on the call as we go over the results… no problem! With your permission, we will explain things so you don't have to.

Typical valuation turnaround time is anywhere from 5 to 7 business days. Rush requests are available.
