I Want to Sell My Compounding Pharmacy

At some point, every pharmacy owner considers their next chapter. If you’re thinking, “I want to sell my compounding pharmacy,” it’s crucial to prepare thoroughly to maximize value and ensure a smooth transition.

Key Steps to Prepare for Sale

Organize Your Financials
Buyers will want to review:
- Three years of tax returns
- Profit and loss statements
- Balance sheets
- Prescription volume and top compounds
- Payor mix breakdown (cash, insurance, workers’ comp)
Review Your Compliance and Licenses
Ensure:
- All state Board of Pharmacy licenses are current
- DEA registration is valid
- Accreditation (PCAB or USP <797>/<800> compliance) is up to date
- Policies, procedures, and training records are well documented
Understand Your Pharmacy’s Value
Work with a pharmacy broker or consultant to determine market value. Compounding pharmacies often sell at multiples of EBITDA, and a professional will help you understand what your business is truly worth.
Prepare Your Team and Operations
Potential buyers will evaluate:
- Staff contracts and turnover rates
- Operational workflows
- Cleanroom certifications and equipment condition
Decide on Your Ideal Exit Strategy
Clarify if you want to:
- Exit completely
- Remain as pharmacist-in-charge or consultant post-sale
- Sell only assets or pursue a stock sale

Hire a Professional to Guide You

Selling a compounding pharmacy is complex. Hiring a pharmacy broker, consultant, or legal advisor will help you navigate:

Valuation and pricing
Confidential marketing to qualified buyers
Buyer due diligence
Negotiation of terms
Licensure transfer and regulatory requirements

Their expertise ensures a smoother process and protects your interests throughout the transaction.
