As the fastest growing sector of our economy, healthcare's environment of innovation attracts investors and strategic buyers competing for the opportunity to scale these innovations and achieve promising high returns.
All aspects of healthcare, from hospitals to iPhone apps, are changing dramatically, driven by a belief that the current trajectory of healthcare spending cannot persist indefinitely, despite the needs of the aging population.
Smaller innovative firms can realize high valuations without taking the execution risk, time and ownership dilution from building a full business model. Franklin Partners understands the regulatory hurdles and qualifications, as well as industry contacts and insights. We've obtained excellent outcomes with buyers who have the resources to scale the business.
