Confidential med spa sale · US & Canada
Two med spas with identical revenue can have completely different risk profiles. Know where yours sits — free, in 60 seconds — before any buyer tells you.
In short
Single-provider, owner-run med spas typically sell for about 2–3.5x seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Multi-provider med spas with roughly $1M+ of EBITDA trade around 4.5–7.5x EBITDA, and multi-state platforms 7–12x. Strong membership or recurring treatment revenue, several providers rather than one, and owned modern devices push a practice toward the top of its range. These are market ranges, not a quote or a guarantee. A free, confidential read of your actual numbers narrows it — not an appraisal.

What really moves a med spa’s value
Contracted memberships and treatment plans transform the risk profile of the business. But if most injectable revenue runs through you or one star injector, buyers price the risk that revenue leaves with that person. Your multiple is set where those two meet.
Memberships tied to one star injector. The base is real — buyers still price the risk it leaves with that person.
Strong membership or recurring treatment revenue, several providers rather than one, and owned modern devices.
A single-injector practice with no membership base — regardless of how strong its revenue looks.
Provider depth helps. Building contracted memberships is the biggest lever left to pull.
The compliance checklist buyers run
Buyers will examine your medical director arrangement, delegation and supervision protocols, and your consent and charting practices — and a clean structure is a prerequisite for institutional buyers. These take time to remedy, so check them early.
