Most physiotherapy and rehab clinics in Canada change hands at a multiple of their normalized earnings, typically EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), adjusted for owner add-backs. The multiple itself depends on your size, location, growth trajectory, and how much the business depends on you, the owner.
Physiotherapy and rehab clinics are valued on their referral base, recurring caseload, and whether therapists stay after a sale. Steady physician and insurer referrals, a full and recurring treatment schedule, and associates who carry caseload lift value; reliance on the owner-clinician, a single referral source, and payer concentration weigh it down.

Higher for clinics with steady referrals, a recurring caseload, and associates who carry it; lower for clinics built around the owner-clinician. Enter your numbers to see your range.
Yes. Steady physician and insurer referrals keep the schedule full and transfer with the clinic, which buyers value over caseload tied to one person.
No. The estimate is for benchmarking and context only, and does not replace a formal business valuation. For a transaction, work with an M&A advisor or a Chartered Business Valuator (CBV).
