UPDATED FOR Q4 2026 HEALTHCARE PRIVATE EQUITY BENCHMARKS
What Would a Private Equity Group Pay for Your MedSpa Today?
Over 1,450 healthcare buyouts closed in the last 12 months. Single clinics trade at about 3.5x SDE until they cross the $1M revenue Graduation Zone with a full clinical team, where institutional buyers pay 4.5x–7.5x EBITDA. Take this confidential 60-second assessment to calculate your current buyout range and see how much your practice value could rise before you talk to a broker.
How a MedSpa is valued in 2026
Buyers multiply annual profit by a multiple. The calculator places your clinic in one of three tiers:
| Tier | When it applies | Multiple |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 · Sub-Scale / Owner-Centric | Under $1M revenue, or the owner carries most of the revenue | 3.5x SDE (3.2x–3.8x) |
| Tier 2 · Emerging Graduation Zone | $1M–$2.5M revenue with a Medical Director and 2+ providers | 5.0x EBITDA (4.5x–5.5x) |
| Tier 3 · Platform-Ready Multi-Provider | $2.5M+ revenue with a full clinical team | 6.5x EBITDA (6.0x–7.5x) |
Adding 10 post-weight-loss skin restoration packages a month at $3,000 can lift the multiple by 1.5x–2.0x. See the full formula and a worked example.
