RxOwnership
Pharmacy ownership transfer has never been more complex. With that in mind, RxOwnership was created with one purpose in mind: to help pharmacy professionals with the sale, purchase, or transfer of independent pharmacies.
RxOwnership brings together the expertise of McKesson with the dedication of our expert Ownership Consultants to support the needs of current and future pharmacy owners. Whether you're looking to sell a chain of pharmacies that's been in your family for generations -- or purchase your very first pharmacy business -- RxOwnership is a helpful resource for everything from planning to staffing.
Plan an Independent Pharmacy Career
It's never too soon to plan for the purchase of your pharmacy
For many pharmacy professionals, the ultimate goal of a pharmacy career is pharmacy ownership. The freedom and responsibility that comes with owning and managing one's own pharmacy is unmatched in our industry. However, the process of buying an independent pharmacy is extremely complex. Powered by McKesson, RxOwnership is here to help.
RxOwnership provides you with the tools and resources you need to plan for the successful acquisition of your very own pharmacy. With information on everything from Business Basics to Store Set-Up you'll know exactly what it takes to fulfill your dream of pharmacy ownership.
Embrace the business of pharmacy ownership.
Above all else, a successful pharmacy is a successful business. That's why you'll want to address a range of important considerations that go well beyond running your pharmacy practice. Those considerations include:
- Developing an effective business plan
- Budgeting and business projections
- Evaluating third-party contracting
- Instituting human resources management
- Planning and executing marketing programs
RxOwnership Ownership Consultants can also provide you with guidance to point you in the right direction to find the information you need. Most likely, the information you need is available to help you become a successful pharmacy owner.
Sell or Transfer Pharmacy Ownership
It's never too soon to plan for the sale of your pharmacy
As a pharmacy owner, planning for the eventual sale of that pharmacy is one of the most important things you can do -- for yourself and your customers. However, the process of selling an independent pharmacy is extremely complex. Powered by McKesson, RxOwnership is here to help.
RxOwnership provides you with the tools and resources you need to plan for the successful sale and transfer of your pharmacy. With our tools, resources, and especially our Step-by-Step Guide, you'll know exactly what it takes to sell successfully.
Steps for planning your pharmacy's future
If you approach the process of selling your pharmacy in a step-by-step manner, it won't be overwhelming. By giving yourself sufficient time, you can carefully consider and refine what is best for you, your family, your employees, and your community. You will have time to consult with colleagues who are several years ahead of you in the process, and to build a team of specialists around you.
As you think about the ownership transfer of your pharmacy, jot down what you want the pharmacy to be like in 3, 5, or 10 years. This can help you understand how you want to sell your pharmacy -- and to whom.
Financing as part of the sale process.
Many pharmacy owners, sellers, and sales managers attempt to start the ownership transfer process with financing. This is a guaranteed recipe for disappointment. As has been pointed out repeatedly, there are myriad decisions that must be considered and made before considering financing. Financing should only be approached once the succession planning has been completed.
There are many different types of financing available today. Most people think first of traditional lenders such as banks and organizations such as the Small Business Administration (SBA) when they think of financing. Others think of suppliers and wholesalers providing dating of product as a form of financing. In addition to these, financing can come from a current owner "taking back a note." Loans from parents and relatives also are common forms of financing.
Rarely is just one type of financing used in the sale/purchase of a pharmacy. For this reason, it is important to understand the breadth of financing options available.

CVS/Caremark Acquisitions
In these changing times, a variety of issues such as profit margin erosion, government regulations, increasing overhead costs, and low third party reimbursement rates continue to diminish the profitability of the community pharmacy. These factors, along with a limited number of potential buyers, have made the CVS/pharmacy Acquisitions Program an attractive and realistic alternative for many independent pharmacies. Over the years, our acquisitions program has become the benchmark in the industry, building a reputation of integrity, fairness and compassion for pharmacy owners who have made the decision to sell their business.
A purchase by CVS may involve front store inventory, pharmacy inventory, and a payment for your prescription files. We would work with you to structure a financial arrangement that will accommodate creditor situations and individual tax needs.
In addition, our growing prescription business has created a need for quality pharmacists to join our staff at a competitive salary with a comprehensive benefits package.
We would be glad to provide you with more information regarding the CVS/pharmacy Acquisitions Program. All inquiries will be held in strict confidence.

Cardinal Health - Pharmacy Transition & Strategy
Since initially launching these services in October 2008, Cardinal Health’s Transition Strategy and Management team has worked with more than 125 pharmacists interested in buying or selling an independent pharmacy. Because Cardinal Health serves more than 5,000 independent pharmacies throughout the United States, the company is uniquely positioned to match potential buyers and sellers and to help develop acquisition and exit strategies that take into consideration the specific challenges these owners face.
“Cardinal Health understands that to many independent pharmacists, planning for the future of their businesses is much like planning for the future of their families,” said Jimmy Neil, vice president of Transition Strategy and Management for Cardinal Health. “It’s extremely important - but it can also be a complicated, lengthy and emotional process. Studies show that ownership of more than 60 percent of community pharmacies will change hands within the next 10 years, so we’re committed to making sure that independent pharmacies have all of the information and expertise they need to buy, sell or create a long-term exit strategy for their business.”
Cardinal Health’s Transition Strategy and Management team can help independent pharmacists to determine the best timing to buy or sell a pharmacy, learn how to structure the sales transaction and understand what kind of additional outside counsel they need.
Cardinal Health can also help independent pharmacy buyers to:
- Determine whether to pursue a start-up or acquisition
- Locate and qualify potential sellers
- Learn how to get attractive financing and how to negotiate a fair purchase price
- Create a long-term business plan, complete with a built-in exit strategy and
- Redesign newly purchased pharmacies to create a fresh, more efficient workflow.
Additionally, Cardinal Health can help independent pharmacy sellers to:
- Locate and qualify potential buyers
- Learn how to market their business for sale and how to negotiate a fair sales price and
- Determine how to invest the proceeds and what their role will be following the sale.
“Cardinal Health offered me a tremendous amount of personal, hands-on support to guide me through every step of finding and buying the right pharmacy,” said John D. Ortego, PharmD, owner of Parkside Pharmacy in Sacramento, Calif. “They helped me learn about different pharmacy business models, negotiate the lease, understand the financing issues, think through changes I wanted to make to the store’s design and even helped me create a long-term business plan. Cardinal Health treated every detail of my pharmacy buying and building experience like it was their own, and their invaluable guidance and expertise played a key role in helping me realize my dream of pharmacy ownership.”
Cardinal Health’s Transition Strategy and Management services are available to all independent pharmacy owners, pharmacy students and to pharmacists who aren’t currently affiliated with an independent pharmacy but are considering independent pharmacy ownership.

Terms used when buying or selling a business. The term is listed followed by its definition.
Accounts Receivable
A financial claim by a business against a customer arising from a sale of goods or services on credit. One measure of the health of a business is how fast customers pay off their accounts. Less that 30 days is good, 30 to 60 days may be okay, and over 60 days could be a problem.
Accrued Interest
Unpaid interest to date on a note or mortgage.
Accumulated Depreciation
The total depreciation of an asset that has been charged as an expense to date.
Agreement in Principle
A preliminary agreement reached between the buyer and seller of a business that outlines the general terms under which more detailed negotiations will be undertaken.
Allocation of Purchase Price
In an asset sale, the purchase price must be allocated to certain assets; the balance is goodwill.
Amortization
A spreading out of costs over a period of time similar to depreciation. For example, it can be a reduction in a debt or fund by periodic payments covering interest and part of the principal over a period of time. It is different from depreciation in that depreciation usually refers to physical things where amortization applies to things that expire (mortgages, patents, etc.).
Arms-Length Buyer
Any person, corporation, or other entity with whom you deal regarding the sale of your business and who has no prior financial or family involvement with you.
Asset Sale
Purchase of certain assets and/or liabilities, leaving the seller the remainder as well as the corporate entity.
Asset-Based Lenders
Commercial lenders who are willing to take on more risk than commercial banks, lending against accounts receivable and inventory and being subordinate to commercial banks.
Book Value
Also known as net worth, the figure derived by deducting all the liabilities from all the assets.
Book Value (of a Business)
The book value of a business is determined from the financial records, by adding the current value of all assets (generally excluding such intangibles as goodwill), then deducting all debts and other liabilities. Book value of the business may have little or no significant to relationship to actual market value due to depreciation and lack of consideration for goodwill (intangible assets).
Book Value (of an Asset)
The accounting value of an asset shown on the balance sheet that is the original cost of the asset less its accumulated depreciation. Keep in mind that this value may have little or no relationship to the real market value of the asset. Frequently, depreciation expenses are charged much faster that the actual decline in the asset's value.
Bulk Transfer
Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code regulates the bulk transfer through the sale or ownership change of a large portion ( usually greater than 50%) of a business's inventory, material, supplies, merchandise, and equipment. Requirements include the advance notification of creditors of the impending sale of a business and its assets listed above to prevent fraud. Provisions in each state are somewhat different so check your local statutes.
Capitalization Rate
The conversion of income into value as part of the valuation process by the application of a capitalization factor ( any multiplies or divisor used to convert income to value).
Cash Flow
The amount of money left over after the cost of goods sold and general, selling, and administrative expenses, but before interest depreciation, taxes, and amortization.
Closing
The process of legally completing the purchase and sale of a business by exchanging asset titles. stock certificates, cash, and promissory notes.
Collateral
Property pledged by a borrower to protect the interests of the lender. Bank loans are often collateralized or secured by the company's accounts receivables, inventory, and/or equipment.
Commission
The negotiated fee, usually a percentage of the purchase and sale price of the total business cost, earned by a business broker for facilitating the sale of a business. Usually the value of the inventory and other non capitalized assets are excluded from the calculation of the commission.

Depreciation
Charges against earnings to write off the cost, less salvage value, of an asset over its estimated useful life. It is a bookkeeping entry for accounting and tax purposes and does not represent cash outlay.

The investigation of the other party's business practices in an attempt to uncover previously unknown information.
Earnout
A part of the purchase price that is dependent on a future performance variable, such as profits or sales.

The franchisse operates under the franchiser's trade name and markets goods and/or services in accordance with a contractual agreement.
