Most sellers go to market underprepared—messy financials, undocumented processes, key person risk, and operational issues that buyers will find in diligence. The result: valuation haircuts, deal re-trades, or buyers walking away entirely.
What most sellers don't realize is that 6–12 months of targeted operational preparation can add up to 15–25% to enterprise value—often the difference between a life-changing outcome and a disappointing one.
In healthcare, the complexity runs deeper. Revenue cycle performance, provider retention, payor contracts, credentialing backlogs, and EHR dependencies all factor into how buyers assess risk and assign value. Financial advisors handle the transaction mechanics—but they don't fix the operational issues that drive valuation.
That's where we come in.

We approach exit readiness as a healthcare operator, not a financial advisor. We have built and exited businesses, and we know what buyers scrutinize because we’ve lived it from both sides of the table.
Our engagement begins well before you go to market. We assess your operations through the lens of a sophisticated buyer—identifying every issue that could reduce your valuation, trigger a re-trade, or stall a deal. Then we help you fix them.
We work alongside your existing advisory team—investment bankers, brokers, attorneys, CPAs—as the operational member of your exit team. We’re complementary, not competitive.
Challenges are Inevitable, Not Permanent
Stagnant | Declining Revenue
Financial strain can directly impact the financial health of the business. Lower revenues may lead to cash flow problems, making it challenging to cover operating expenses, repay debts, or invest in growth initiatives.
Lack of Systems | Processes
In the absence of standardized procedures, errors are more likely to occur, leading to rework, delays, and potential customer dissatisfaction. Without proper checks and balances, mistakes may go unnoticed until they escalate into larger issues.
Inadequate Decision Making
Without reliable data and performance metrics, leaders may struggle to make informed decisions that drive the business forward. Without a problem-solving framework, issues may fester and grow, impacting productivity and morale.
No Accountability | Lack of Control
When individuals are unclear about their responsibilities, accountability suffers. There is no visibility of tasks and deadlines, no accountability among team members, and tasks continue falling through the cracks.
Not Hitting Goals | No Goals
Without a clear vision or set of goals, the organization lacks a guiding framework for decision-making and strategy development. This can result in confusion among employees regarding the company's direction and priorities.
High Turnover | Weak Culture
Frequent turnover disrupts workflow and productivity as employees feel unproductive and uncertain about their roles. This can lead to decreased efficiency, missed deadlines, and reduced output, impacting overall performance.
Too Many Meetings | No Meetings
Organizations struggle with ineffective communication leading to confusion among team members. Fewer, more meaningful and structured meetings create powerful communication between leadership and employees.
Difficulty in Scaling or Growing
Without systems and processes in place, scaling a business is difficult. Having no or little direction only causes more confusion and can create the opposite effect of the desired outcome and goal.

Volition|hlth+ is a boutique healthcare advisory firm specializing in several critical transaction phases: sell-side exit readiness, operational due diligence, value creation, and post-merger integration.
Unlike traditional M&A advisors who focus on financial metrics, we bring deep healthcare operational expertise—RCM, credentialing, payor contracts, provider retention—the exact areas where deals get re-traded or fail post-close.
Exit Readiness Assessment
A comprehensive operational evaluation through the buyer’s lens—covering RCM performance, payor contract quality, provider retention and key person risk, credentialing status, technology dependencies, compliance posture, and organizational scalability.
Normalized EBITDA & Addback Analysis
We work alongside your financial advisors to ensure EBITDA is properly normalized and defensible—identifying legitimate addbacks, flagging questionable adjustments that will get challenged, and ensuring the financial story aligns with operational reality.
Operational Improvement Roadmap
A prioritized, sequenced plan for remediating every issue identified in the assessment. Quick wins (30 days), medium-term improvements (60–90 days), and strategic initiatives (90–180 days) are mapped against their expected impact on valuation and deal risk.
Data Room Preparation Support
We help you build or organize a diligence-ready data room with the operational documentation buyers expect: KPI dashboards, payor contract summaries, provider rosters, credentialing status, SOP documentation, organizational charts, and technology architecture.
Buyer Due Diligence Support
When buyers arrive with diligence requests, we help you respond efficiently and strategically. We anticipate the questions sophisticated healthcare buyers will ask—because we’ve asked them ourselves—and prepare your team to answer confidently.
-
Business owners and founders contemplating or actively planning an exit within 6-24 months
-
Managing partners of medical groups, behavioral health organizations, dental groups, or ASCs
-
CEOs and leadership teams of healthcare services companies (RCM, credentialing, staffing, tech-enabled services)
-
PE-backed portfolio companies preparing for secondary sale or recapitalization
-
Organizations with $5M–$100M in annual revenue

Frequently Asked Questions
Our investment banker/ broker handles our exit—why do we need you?
Your banker handles the transaction—marketing the business, managing the process, negotiating deal terms. We handle the operational improvements that drive your valuation higher before you go to market. We’re complementary: they position the story, we make the story stronger.
How early should we start?
Ideally 12–24 months before going to market. This gives you runway to implement meaningful improvements that are reflected in your trailing financials. That said, we’ve helped clients achieve significant impact in as little as 6 months.
What if buyers find issues we didn’t anticipate?
That’s exactly what our assessment prevents. We evaluate your business through the same lens a sophisticated healthcare buyer uses—RCM performance, payor contracts, provider retention, key person risk, credentialing, technology, compliance. We find issues before buyers do, so you can fix them on your terms.
Can you help if we’re already in a transaction?
Yes. Our engagement provides transaction support, including diligence response management, integration, management presentation preparation, and insight into operational matters. Even mid-transaction, we can help you manage buyer concerns and protect your valuation.
