Why Now and Why Us?
Timing is everything. This industry consolidation offers to independent practices very attractive opportunities today that could become potential threats tomorrow for those that remain independent.
As any industry consolidation phase matures, the balance of power typically shifts from those being consolidated to the consolidator. Thus, once a consolidation phase has become sufficiently competitive, as this one has, independent businesses typically "get the best deal" by acting sooner, rather than later. Moreover, the steady decline in interest rates over the past decade, which has helped drive valuations higher, appears to have recently started reversing course. If interest rates increase significantly from their low current levels, as many expect, this could serve to depress business valuations in the future from their currently lofty levels. Thus, "striking while the iron is hot" appears to make good sense.
