Why Choose Platano
We've sat in the chair you're in.
Pedro Rojas is a former operator and active investor. He has built and sold healthcare businesses himself — and knows exactly what a real offer looks like and what a buyer is fishing for when they ask the question.
150–300 buyers per deal. Most brokers call 30.
Process beats luck. We interview 150 to 300 qualified investor groups for every engagement. That's how a clinic that "couldn't sell" closed at 7.85x the prior offer.
Full Mergers & Acquisitions Services
From exit preparation, valuation, brokering services, transaction coordination, to closing.
Success Metrics
Proven Results. Real Deals. Tangible Outcomes
Building success – one deal at a time
Investors Per Transaction
Qualified Buyers
A clinic owner came to us frustrated after months of failed conversations. Within a week of engagement, we activated our buyer network and secured a full-price offer—above asking—from a qualified strategic group. The deal closed. Right buyer. Right terms. Right outcome.
A practice owner came to us after months of trying to sell on his own. The only offer he received severely undervalued the business. After repackaging the opportunity, running a structured process, and tapping into our buyer network, we secured an offer that was 7.85x higher than his last one. Deal closed. Confidence restored.
To find the right acquirer, we interview between 150–300 investors per deal. Why? Because your business deserves a buyer that gets it — not just someone who’s “kicking tires.”
For one recent deal, we ran a highly targeted process, vetted over 200 groups, and found the right strategic partner that closed above asking — without retrading or delays.
Our Services
Full sell side representation: confidential valuation, a competitive process across 8,000+ qualified buyers, negotiation, and a managed closing. You keep seeing patients. We run the deal.
A full valuation built from your actual financials, a complete add-back analysis, and an exit readiness plan showing what would raise your value before a sale. Completely done for you.
We represent owners of established Florida businesses through the full sale process: valuation, positioning, buyer outreach, negotiation, and closing.
Readiness work one to five years ahead of a sale: defensible financials, documented add-backs, and the value levers buyers actually price, fixed before they ever look.
HEALTHCARE PRACTICES WE TAKE TO MARKET
Industries We Serve
We work exclusively in healthcare. Every buyer, every process, every close — same sector.
Medical Practices
Primary care, specialty, multi-specialty groups. PE platforms and strategic buyers are hungry for well-run practices with a loyal patient base.
Dental Practices
General and specialty dental. DSOs are aggressive on practices with providers and a transferable patient base. We know the active buyers.
MedSpas & Surgery Centers
Aesthetic clinics and ASCs. High-margin, cash-pay businesses. Strong buyer demand from PE, family offices, and roll-ups — multiples reflect that.
Behavioral Health
Therapy, IOP, psychiatric groups. Sustained strategic interest from PE-backed platforms expanding by geography. Compliance and credentialing matter at exit.
Healthcare Services
Staffing, RCM, billing, medical supply, recurring-revenue services. Recurring revenue compounds value — buyers pay for the predictability.
Healthcare Networks
MSOs, IPAs, ACOs. Network structures need specialized M&A handling: payer contracts, attribution math, and risk arrangements all affect what a buyer will pay.
"We have worked for years and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in developing our buyer network, that is how we are able to surely get offers that will close"
— Pedro Rojas, Managing Partner
