🧠 Valuation Insight: Hands-On = High Risk

 💥 Chiropractic practices often report healthy margins—but valuations take a hit when:

  • The owner performs all adjustments and retains the goodwill
  • No associate doctor or transition plan in place
  • Payer mix (cash vs. insurance) isn’t broken down
  • Addbacks include family benefits, personal wellness, or lifestyle perks

📌 If the business is the chiropractor, it’s not enterprise value.
