Let’s get real for a second.

You’ve spent years—maybe decades—pouring your heart, hands, and energy into your chiropractic practice. You’ve helped countless patients. You’ve weathered the ups and downs. You’ve built something good.

But here’s the question that separates a feel-good legacy from a profitable exit:

Can your business run without you?

If the honest answer is no—if you are the one holding it all together—then your ability to transition, scale, or sell is seriously limited.

That’s not just a business operations issue.
That’s an exit strategy issue.

The Problem: Your Business Requires You

When your practice is dependent on your presence, your personality, your patient relationships, and your ability to solve every problem in real-time… you don’t own a self-sustaining business.

You own a job.

And that job might be rewarding, yes—but it’s also risky. Because if something happens to you, so does your business. And for anyone looking to acquire, invest in, or inherit your practice, that’s a red flag.

Whether You're Thinking 5 Months or 5 Years Out…

It doesn’t matter if your goal is to:

• Slowly transfer the practice to an associate over time

• Sell to a younger doc or new grad

• Exit via private equity with a 7-figure payday

The fundamentals are the same. Your business must be:

✅ Systemized — with documented workflows and SOPs
✅ Profitable — with clean financials and predictable revenue
✅ Transferable — with systems and people in place to carry the vision forward
✅ Not dependent on you — because no buyer wants to buy your burnout

This is what buyers want. This is what successors need. And this is what a strong chiropractic exit strategy depends on.

The Shift: From “Backbone” to Business Builder

We get it—you have been the backbone of your business. And that’s something to be proud of.
But if you want that business to outlive your hands-on care, you need to build a new kind of spine into the operation:

One built on structure, leadership, and systems.
One that doesn’t break when you take a week (or a year) off.
One that can scale—or sell—on your terms.

So the real question isn’t when to exit.
It’s: Will your business be ready when you are?
