Frequently Asked Questions
How are optometrist-owned optical shops valued for buy-sell purposes?
Practices combining clinical optometry with retail are often valued at 50–80% of annual gross revenue or 3–5x EBITDA. The clinical component (patient relationships, insurance billing) drives the higher multiples.
What key person coverage is right for an optical shop OD generating $600K annually?
Coverage of 1–2 years of revenue ($600K–$1.2M) provides a practical transition runway. Personal income replacement should be calculated separately for family financial protection.
Are optometrists considered low-risk for life insurance underwriting?
Yes. Optometry is a low-physical-risk, professional healthcare occupation. Personal health history is the primary underwriting consideration. Optometrists typically qualify for preferred or standard rates.
