The Fleetridge Team
Experience and expertise are critical resources to leverage throughout the complex process of selling or acquiring a healthcare business. The same holds true for completing a merger, or simply determining the value of your business so you can formulate effective strategies.
The Fleetridge Pacific healthcare mergers and acquisition team offers both critical qualities, along with professionalism, passion and people skills. Our team is credentialed with extensive experience in M&A, clinical healthcare, analysis, and operations for healthcare companies. This history allows us to identify the value in facets of your business that competitors who don’t specialize in healthcare can’t see. In this way, we’ll help you maximize your business’s market worth.
