Protect yourself and your practice.
Be prepared.
If you are approached by investing organizations, it is critical to seek legal counsel and engage business advisors to represent you in these discussions to ensure a full understanding of the outcomes associated with exploring these opportunities. This type of transaction will affect the rest of your career and potentially your community.

Questions that need to be asked so you understand all issues that need to be addressed for you to make the best and most profitable decision.
What are their profitability expectations?
If the expectations are not achieved, how much will it cost to get out of the deal?
How can you get out of the arrangement if expectations are not realized?
Are being told you can still run your practice? That is true if you produce enough revenue to provide the needed ROI, otherwise, there may be another discussion.
How does this affect your compensation long-term?
Is your payout tied to a “liquidation event?’
What are your tax implications?
What do you do with future partners if you join an organization like this?
How can future partners benefit from this new arrangement?
What do you do with former partners if there is a big payout after they retire?
