Flipping the script on private equity to benefit medical aesthetic entrepreneurs
The traditional consolidation model
Most med spa platforms offer the same consolidation model: owner-operators benefit from a large network of other med spa owners, management services that can help optimize their businesses, and the negotiating power that comes with being part of a large organization. In exchange, owners typically sell 50-70% of their practice value and reinvest the remainder in themselves to grow. This means that owners only get a small portion of the value created after joining the platform.
This model is great for some med spa business owners – but what about those who are earlier in their careers, are more entrepreneurial, and want to build something bigger?
The Aviva Aesthetics model
Aviva means “fresh” and that’s what we’re building – a new model for visionary medical aesthetics entrepreneurs who want a better future for their businesses and their clients.
Aviva Aesthetics solves for the two most common mistakes we see entrepreneurs make: selling at too low of an EBITDA and for too low of an EBITDA multiple. Joining Aviva is not a sale to private equity. Instead, med spa owners forgo the early payout and merge and become owners of Aviva.
Ownership offers many of the same benefits that private equity-owned groups provide:
Network with which to share best practices
Better contracts
Reduced operational costs
Streamlined business services
Revenue growth
Higher earnings at exit
We all win together
Together, we grow EBITDA and collectively sell when the time is right to a buyer chosen by our Aviva members. In the end, Aviva Aesthetics med spa owners get private equity-style returns…
