- Updating the look
Takeovers
There are different challenges that new practice owners face when they purchase an existing practice instead of building one from the ground up. There are new admin challenges, such as moving all the information from the previous owner’s name to your name; the wifi, the office space, the rental, the email addresses, and so forth.
As much as there is the general admin of managing a practice, there is this admin-intensive transitional period that lasts some time until everything is set out the way the new owners would prefer it to be.
Process of purchasing the practice
- Got the business evaluated.
- Gathered some loans together as well as their own money to save on interest.
- Paid the owner all at once.
Updating the look
They worked with the name Amber Creek to update and change their branding, giving their practice a new vision and giving it a new breath of life under new leadership.
