Why PharmaSold
Selling a pharmacy is not selling a house. We know the difference.
Most pharmacies are sold by agents who have never filled a prescription, read a plan summary or sat through an OCP inspection. We own and operate pharmacies ourselves. We know what your store is really worth, and we know which buyers can actually close.
| Real estate agents & business brokers | PharmaSold Pharmacist-owned | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you deal with | An agent who sells houses, restaurants and car washes, and now your pharmacy | A licensed pharmacist who owns and runs pharmacies |
| How it's priced | A rule of thumb on sales, or what the seller hopes for | Your real profit, rebuilt line by line from your own reports |
| How it's marketed | Posted on MLS or a listing site for staff and competitors to find | Shown privately, only to verified buyers you approve |
| Who the buyers are | Whoever answers the ad | Pharmacists and groups we've vetted, with financing in place |
| The hard parts | Left to you and your lawyer | Financing, share or asset sale, OCP and ODB transfer, handover |

Profit on each prescription
What you actually keep after drug cost, broken out by who pays.

Questions
What owners usually ask first
Do I have to commit to selling?
No. Many owners just want to know their number for retirement, estate or partnership planning. A valuation carries no obligation.
Is the valuation really free?
Yes. There's no fee for the conversation or the written valuation.
Will my staff, landlord or banner find out?
Not from us. We don't contact anyone connected to your pharmacy without your written permission, and we sign an NDA before you share financials.
What do I need to get started?
Nothing for the first call. For the valuation, usually your plan summary reports, a recent profit and loss statement, and your lease.
Should I sell my shares or the assets?
It depends on your tax situation and the buyer. Read our guide, Asset sale vs share sale, then we'll walk through it with you.
Where do you work?
Ontario first, and across Canada for the right pharmacy. Independent and bannered, urban and rural, clinic-attached, compounding and OAT pharmacies are all welcome.
