Most practice owners don't find out what they left on the table until after the deal closes. I help you figure that out before you ever take a meeting with a buyer.Nate LaBombard · Founder, Benchmark Advisors · Chicago, IL
Revenue growth, margin optimization, and exit advisory for medspa and eye care practice owners. Based in Chicago, working nationwide.
30-minute call. No pitch. You'll leave knowing exactly where you stand.
Most owners don't realize how much value they're leaving on the table until they try to sell.
Independent and small multi-location healthcare practice owners. The sweet spot: owner-operated, 1 to 5 locations, $500K to $10M in revenue.
Industry data shows the average medspa operates at a 38% profit margin, but the gap between top and bottom performers is significant. A practice at the top of key benchmarks can command 1.5 to 2x the valuation of one at the bottom. We show you where you stand and what it costs you to stay there.
Every percentage point of EBITDA margin, every dollar of revenue per provider, and every point of retention rate directly affects your exit multiple. A practice at the top of these benchmarks can command 1.5 to 2x the valuation of one at the bottom. We show you the gap and the path to close it.

Benchmark Advisors is led by Nate LaBombard, a finance professional with a background in investment banking and M&A advisory. He has worked on over $600M in closed transactions, including deals in the healthcare and aesthetics space.
Industry research, including AmSpa's annual benchmarking reports, consistently cites advisory support as a top behavior of the most successful practices, yet most owners don't engage one until they're already in a transaction.
He has seen what buyers look for, what kills deals, and where independent practice owners consistently leave money on the table. Most of the time it comes down to poor EBITDA normalization, pricing they haven't touched in years, and a complete lack of buyer-ready documentation.
Core specialties are medical aesthetics and eye care, but the financial fundamentals are consistent across owner-operated healthcare practices. If you're running a chiropractic group, a dental practice, or a specialty clinic, the questions we'll ask are the same ones a buyer's analyst will ask. We'd rather you hear them from us first.
We keep a small, selective client list. You get direct access, not a handoff to someone junior.
Three focused engagement types. Fixed fees, defined scope, and a real deliverable at the end. Each one built around revenue expansion, operational leverage, and exit positioning.
A structured diagnostic that identifies where your practice is leaking margin and what to fix first. Includes competitive benchmarking against your practice type so you know not just what is wrong, but how far behind you are.
For owners considering a sale in 1 to 3 years. Most independent practice owners leave 20 to 40 percent of their exit value on the table because they were not positioned correctly. Private equity acquired 32% of sold practices in 2023. They come prepared. You should too.
A monthly engagement for owners who want a finance-minded advisor in their corner on an ongoing basis. Covers everything from KPI review to M&A prep to evaluating inbound acquisition interest.
There is no shortage of consultants willing to take your money. Here is why the background matters.
Most consultants have never worked on an actual transaction. We have. We know exactly how a buyer's team underwrites a practice because we've built that analysis ourselves.
We compare your practice against verified industry data, not anecdotal advice. You walk out knowing exactly where you stand and what it is worth to close the gap.
Private equity is aggressively rolling up medspas, eye care, chiropractic, and dental. We understand their playbook, which is directly useful whether you want to sell to them, compete against them, or just know what you are worth.
A small number of clients at a time. You get direct access throughout, not an account manager and a junior analyst running a template.
Simple and structured. No onboarding maze, no scope creep.
30 minutes. We learn your situation, your goals, and what is actually on your mind. No pitch.
A short written proposal with a defined scope, timeline, and fixed fee. No surprises.
We work through the defined scope together. Direct access throughout.
A clear, actionable output you can use. Not a slide deck that collects dust.
Tell us about your practice and what you are trying to solve. We will respond personally within 24 hours.
