What is your chiropractic practice really worth?
Find out before a buyer, a broker or your buyer's bank decides for you. Dr. Tom Preston's chiropractor-built valuations come within 7% of actual sale prices, and every one includes a plan to raise your number before you sell.
- Flat $4,495 (USD or CAD), never a % of your sale
- No listing agreement required
- Typically delivered within 2 weeks of your documents
of actual sale prices. Not a broker's listing price, not an accountant's formula: a number built by a chiropractor who has sold practices himself.
Most practice valuations miss the mark, and it costs you thousands.
You've spent decades building something valuable. Here's how that value usually leaks away:
- Generic accountants use cookie-cutter formulas that don't understand how a chiropractic practice actually makes money.
- Broker "free" valuations are the first step toward a listing agreement. The number is part of the sales pitch.
- Overpriced valuations scare off qualified buyers and stall your sale for months.
- Underpriced valuations quietly leave your retirement money on the table.
- Surface-level reports give you a number but never show you how to raise it.
The result? Deals fall through. Months are wasted. Money is lost.
Brokers typically charge 8–12% of the sale price.
is a 10% commission on a $400,000 practice. Our valuation is a flat $4,495 (USD or CAD), and you're never required to list with anyone.
And fewer than 30% of practices transfer successfully. The doctors who sell well are the ones who knew their number, and fixed what was dragging it down, before they went to market.

This free tool gives a rough, educational estimate only. It is not an appraisal or a Letter of Opinion.
Estimated market value range
Rough educational estimate based on published chiropractic sale multiples (about 1.75–2.27× owner earnings) and the 50–60% of collections rule of thumb, adjusted for transferability. Your actual value depends on factors this tool can't see. Only a Letter of Opinion gives you a defensible number.
Your buyer's bank now runs its own valuation. Every time.
Most chiropractic buyers finance with an SBA-backed loan. Under the SBA's updated rules, the lender must order an independent business valuation on every change-of-ownership deal, not just the big ones.
If the bank's number comes in below your asking price, your buyer has to bring more cash, you carry a note, or the deal falls apart. Sellers who walk in with a defensible, chiropractic-specific number, and have already fixed the weak spots, aren't the ones getting surprised at the closing table.
- Know your number early. Price it where a lender's appraiser will land, not where a listing pitch starts.
- Fix what drags it down. Owner dependence, thin new-patient flow and weak systems all cost you at sale time.
- Go to market with confidence. List, sell to an associate, or bring in a partner, on your terms and your timeline.
Our Letter of Opinion is prepared for you, the owner. It's not a substitute for an appraisal your buyer's lender orders, but it means you'll already know what that appraisal is likely to say.
Built by a chiropractor. Priced like a professional. Focused on your number.

Dr. Tom Preston doesn't just understand numbers. He understands your practice.
After 38 years in chiropractic practice, Dr. Tom Preston has lived the challenges you've lived and celebrated the wins you've celebrated. He sold his first practice in the early '90s and has spent more than two decades helping chiropractors understand, grow and sell what they've built.
That experience is built into a proven algorithm that weighs what buyers actually pay for: reproducible profitability, patient demographics, practice style and location. It's why our valuations come within 7% of actual sale prices. That's not luck.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with US practices?
Yes. We value chiropractic practices across the United States and Canada. US practices pay $4,495 in US dollars; Canadian practices pay $4,495 CAD. Our analysis is built around what makes a chiropractic practice transferable, wherever it is.
How accurate is your valuation?
Our valuations come within 7% of actual sale prices. That comes from a proven algorithm built by a chiropractor who knows what buyers are willing to pay, not a generic small-business formula.
Why not just use my broker's free valuation?
A broker's valuation is usually the first step toward a listing agreement and a commission on your sale. Ours is a flat fee, with no listing agreement required, and it comes with a plan to raise your number before you go to market. Many doctors use our Letter of Opinion to check a broker's listing price, or to sell to an associate or partner directly.
Will my buyer's bank accept your report?
For SBA-backed loans, the buyer's lender now orders its own independent valuation on every change-of-ownership deal. Our Letter of Opinion is prepared for you, the seller, so you know your defensible number and can fix weak spots before that appraisal happens. Outside SBA-backed loans, many banks and lawyers have relied on our appraisals when financing a new buyer, and we're a preferred provider for practice valuations in Canada with BMO.
What do I need to provide?
Three years of financial statements (unaudited is fine) or tax returns if statements aren't available, plus a short questionnaire about your practice. We can also work directly with your accountant.
How long does it take?
Typically within 2 weeks of receiving all of your documents, followed by a 30-minute walk-through call.
Why $4,495?
Because a chiropractor-built valuation, a 28-point profitability analysis and a value-improvement plan are worth far more than a quick estimate. Past clients have found $10,000 to $106,000 in added sale value. Compare that to a broker commission of 8–12% of your sale price.
I'm not planning to sell for a few years. Is it too early?
It's the best time. Knowing your number 3–5 years out gives you time to fix what's dragging it down, whether that's owner dependence, new-patient flow or systems, so you sell for more and on your terms.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Your financials and your valuation are shared only with you. Nothing is listed or shared with buyers unless you decide to.
Can you help me sell after the valuation?
If you want help finding a buyer, we can talk about options. It's never required, and your valuation is yours to use however you like.
