Exploring the acquisition of an outpatient mental health and nutrition therapy practice (PLLC), looking to connect with anyone who has navigated the MSO/PLLC ownership structure as a non-clinician buyer. As a non-clinician, I'd need to set up an MSO to own and manage the practice, with a licensed clinician maintaining the required leadership role within the PLLC. A few specific questions I'm working through: - For those who've acquired a PLLC through an MSO structure: what were the biggest legal or structural pitfalls during setup? Anything you'd do differently? - How did you handle the clinical leadership requirement — did you retain the seller in that role, elevate an existing clinician, or hire externally? - Any lessons learned on how the MSO/PLLC split affects deal structure, valuation, or lender appetite (especially SBA)? - If you've acquired a mental health or behavioral health practice specifically: how did you manage clinician retention through the transition? Any concerns from staff about non-clinical ownership? Thanks in advance.
