I am so glad that I contacted PRS when it came time to transition our pharmacy from one generation to the next. PRS provided me with a specific plan so that our 111-year-old pharmacy will remain in our family with no disruption to service. There are many regulatory procedures that need to be navigated when it comes to working with boards of pharmacy, the DEA, and other agencies. And, then there are the PBM's and their arcane policies and strict requirements. PRS researched everything based upon the specific state in which we are licensed. They provided us with an easy to follow virtual road map. I recommend them to everyone.

Our Pharmacy Acquisition Process is Proven to be Successful…Here’s Why…

  • Financing:  We have financing consultants who can help you find the perfect financing and get you pre-qualified for the purchase of the Pharmacy.
  • Looking for a location to buy?  Ask about our Pharmacy Buyer Program that helps market buyers to Pharmacy owners looking to sell their stores in the buyer’s desired location.
  • Thinking About Starting a New Pharmacy Instead of Purchasing an Existing One? Our team can discuss your options with you and help you decide what the best course of action is for your circumstances. We have sold, opened or transferred over 500 independent Pharmacies since 1982!
We needed professional help buying a small chain of pharmacies located within our supermarkets and then operating them afterwards. Then, we wanted to add new pharmacies to many of our other 130 store locations. After evaluating several companies and options, we choose PRS, even though they were more expensive up front. Definitely a good choice for us; their sound advice saved us many times what we paid them and prevented some terrible and very costly mistakes.

During our pharmacy acquisition, PRS was a valued partner. Scott and Deb were always available to assist with the transition and answer any questions along the way. They provided a level of confidence knowing we had a partner who was experienced with State/Federal laws, rules, and regulations in regards to the acquisition of our pharmacy.

FAQs

At PRS we pride ourselves on being a different kind of Pharmacy brokerage service.  We are the only brokerage firm endorsed by NCPA.  We cover everything from buying, selling, transferring, opening a start-up and opening an International Pharmacy. We have programs for every situation and we are owned and operated by Pharmacists so we understand what it takes to succeed and the challenges most owners or potential owners are facing in today’s competitive market.

We PROMISE 100% confidentiality and will never share your information with anyone.  You can view our signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) here.

The first thing you need to do is have a Pharmacy Valuation performed to determine if the asking price is fair.  Second, partner with professionals that have experience in due diligence, licensing, third-party contracting, letter of intent (LOI), purchase agreements and Pharmacy operations to help ensure a smooth transition.

We PROMISE 100% confidentiality and will never share your information with anyone.  You can view our signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) here.

In a stock purchase the buyer purchases the seller’s share of the corporation’s stock directly, therefore obtaining ownership of the seller’s corporation.  The Pharmacy operation remains with the same corporation and FEIN.

In an asset purchase, the seller retains possession of the corporation or LLC and the buyer’s corporation purchases individual assets of the company such as Rx files, equipment, inventory and goodwill.

For a more thorough breakdown, please schedule a consultation with one of our experts.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that a buyer does not have to address licensing and third-party contracting during a stock purchase.  Each state Board of Pharmacy determines the definition of “Change of Ownership” differently. In addition, “Change of Ownership” notifications may need to be filed with all appropriate government licensing boards and PBM’s.  The complicated rules and laws involving buying, selling, owning, or transferring a Pharmacy are why you should always hire a reputable company to guide you through the process.  PRS is the exclusive NCPA endorsed broker.
