Behind every healthcare provider is a network of businesses that help make care possible. In the final part of this series, we focus on the businesses that support healthcare practices, including IT, cybersecurity, and marketing. We discuss why private equity continues to be drawn to these businesses, what drives value in this space, and the outlook for healthcare service businesses as we head into 2026. This episode offers insight into an often overlooked, but increasingly important, segment of the healthcare ecosystem.

With the right market insight, business owners can plan strategically for what’s ahead, whether it’s growth, a practice transition or another goal in mind. In part two of this three-part series, our conversation broadens from dentistry to other provider-led businesses, including veterinary, aesthetics and dermatology, and eyecare. We explore what’s driving interest from strategic buyers in these sectors, key similarities and differences, and what practice owners should understand as we look ahead to 2026.

Even if you’re not considering selling or transitioning your business right now, staying informed about the market can be a powerful strategic advantage. In the first episode of this three-part series, Brian and Michael take a seat at the table to share what’s next for DSOs and the evolving deal environment in the dental industry.
