The laboratory business as a whole is facing unprecedented economic challenges resulting from reimbursement cuts, changing regulatory and compliance requirements, and increased competition. To your lab individually, each and every one of these challenges means a direct impact to both your lab’s revenue and value.

As a result, you may be considering your strategic-positioning options: reorganizing, restructuring, merging/consolidating with another laboratory, or even selling. Regardless of the direction you may ultimately take, increasing revenue and operating margin— and thus maximizing valuation for your laboratory—is unquestionably one of the smartest business practices your lab can undertake.

But, why is it so vital for your lab to understand and maximize its value, even if you’re not in a buying or selling mode? To get the answers to this critical question, and to learn what you and your management team must do to help your lab survive and thrive in the current reality, Dark Daily is presenting an all-new webinar entitled, “The Pathway to Driving Valuation for Your Laboratory: Your Roadmap to Achieving Success, and How to Sustain Growth Despite a Changing Lab Environment,” held on Thursday, June 28 at 1:30 PM EDT.

This is a must-attend session for all laboratory owners, CEOs, administrators, and pathologists—anyone for whom the need to maintain the financial solvency of their lab organization is paramount, or who may be thinking of merging, consolidating, or affiliating with another laboratory or group either soon, or down the road.

The webinar will open with David Nichols, Founder of Nichols Management Group, York Harbor, ME. David will bring to the session his unique perspective as an advisor and participant on the transaction side of the business, and will provide an enlightening discussion on the primary areas in which a lab is place under scrutiny when being bought or sold, the key indicators that impact a lab’s valuation during the negotiation process, critical value drivers a seller needs to demonstrate in order to attract the right buyers, and much more.
