Building a Hybrid ASC/OBL: Collaborate Before Investing

Are you considering venturing into the world of Hybrid Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Office-Based Laboratories (OBLs)? Don’t embark on this transformative journey alone! Collaboration and planning are the keys to success in this dynamic healthcare landscape.

Syndicate for Success

Investors often believe that once they build a Hybrid ASC/OBL, other physicians will naturally flock to become stakeholders or provide professional services. However, adopting a “Field of Dreams” mindset, where “if you build it, they will come,” can lead to project delays or even failure. To avoid such pitfalls, it’s essential to syndicate before spending.

The Power of Collaboration

Before commencing development, take the time to identify potential physician investors and service providers who align with your vision. Engage in fruitful discussions, assess their interest in investing, and ascertain any potential non-compete or other restrictions that could influence their participation. By understanding the level of interest and financial commitment early on, you can tailor your development strategy for maximum success.

Planning for Timely Capital

Timing is crucial in any development project. Ensure that potential investors are capable of providing timely capital to support the venture. Understanding their financial capacity early on can prevent delays and keep the project on track.

Why Syndicate?

Mitigate Risks: Shared ownership and collective resources spread risks, reducing the burden on individual investors.

Strengthen Partnerships: Building a strong network of like-minded professionals fosters collaboration and enhances the center’s overall performance.

Accelerate Development: Collaborative decision-making expedites the development process and ensures timely execution.

Enhance Feasibility: Aligning with committed partners strengthens the project’s feasibility and sets the foundation for long-term success.
