An Engaged Leader. A Long-Term Vision.
Selling your company is about more than valuation. We are acquiring one great healthcare business and stewarding it for the long term — protecting your name, your people, and your patients — without the pressure of a fund timeline or a corporate integration. Here are the differences you can expect selling to Operative Partners vs Private Equity:
Ownership Transition
Flexible handoff — stay involved for a while or exit cleanly.
Often a quick break or a rigid, short consulting role.
Legacy & Team
Keep the name, culture, and patient-first values; continuity for your team.
Rebrands and “synergies” can lead to changes and layoffs.
Time Horizon
Long-term stewardship — no forced exit clock.
3–5 year cycle or corporate integration drives short-term decisions.
Decision Making
Direct access to the final decision-maker; simple, transparent.
Committees and layers add time and complexity.
Confidentiality
Discreet, founder-first process — materials handled with care.
Broader distribution to committees can increase information spread.
Post-Close Focus
Measured, people-first improvements in care, systems, and service.
Aggressive growth and exit prep can overshadow day-to-day quality.

Quick Answers
Here are the most common questions we hear while owners compare options.
How is selling to Operative Partners different from PE or a strategic buyer?
We buy one great healthcare business and operate it long term. Your name and culture stay intact, and you work directly with the day-to-day leader (Pablo)—not layers of committees or a fund exit clock.
What’s the typical timeline?
About ~90 days from LOI to close. We sign an NDA before any non-public info, set a clear schedule with weekly check-ins, and keep requests concise to reduce disruption.
What happens to my people and brand after close?
Continuity first. We protect your brand and invest in your team. Together we co-author a thoughtful announcement and 90-day transition plan.
How do you run diligence?
A seller-friendly list with a single point of contact. Independent QoE/financial, legal & regulatory, and tech/RCM verification—kept tight and predictable.
Are you a real buyer? How are you funded?
Yes. We’re backed by experienced investors and advisors and are set up to fund one excellent acquisition—and then focus our full attention on operating it.
