The Problem With Buying at Scale

Proprietary deal flow is the entire game, and it is exactly what most acquirers cannot produce in-house. Auction processes are priced to perfection. Inbound broker flow is what everyone else already passed on. And building a real corporate development function means hiring a team before you have the volume to justify one. The result is the same story everywhere: a fund or platform with capital ready to deploy, a thesis that works, and a pipeline that trickles.

The Acquisition Engine

Our retained model, The Acquisition Engine, turns your thesis into a running pipeline:

Done for You, or Done With You

Every acquirer’s team has different gaps. Some need the entire engine run for them, from first list to closing checklist. Others have partners who love doing deals and simply need qualified opportunities showing up every week, or a diligence machine bolted on when a deal goes under LOI. We structure each retained engagement around where your gaps actually are, so you get an extension of your team, not another vendor.

Who This Is For

If you are buying one practice for yourself, start with our current listings instead.

Why Platano Advisors

We sit on the sell side every day, running competitive processes for medical practice owners. That is precisely why our buy side clients win: we know what makes owners engage, what kills deals in diligence, and what a practice is actually worth before the fight starts. With 134+ closed transactions and more than $1B in deal value, we have seen the movie from both seats.

Put the Engine to Work

Retained engagements are limited so every mandate gets real attention. Tell us your thesis, your geography, and your check size, and we will tell you honestly whether we can fill your pipeline.
