Buying or selling a Florida medical spa
Overview
Florida medical spas operate at the intersection of cosmetic services and regulated medical practice. The deal needs to handle CPOM-compliant ownership structure, FDA-classified injectables and device inventory, medical-director continuity, infection-control documentation, and the franchise or vendor agreements that often run beneath the surface. We structure the transaction to survive both diligence and post-closing regulatory exposure.
What we handle
- MSO and PC entity structuring (CPOM-compliant)
- APA, stock, and membership-interest transactions
- Medical-director engagement and continuity agreements
- Franchise and vendor contract assignment
- Patient consent, waivers, and risk-management documentation review
- Commercial-lease assignment with med-spa-specific build-out concerns
Common pitfalls we plan around
- Ownership structures that fail CPOM diligence at a future resale
- Medical-director relationships that lapse or shift on change of control
- FDA-classified device or injectable inventory that fails to transfer cleanly
Our Process
How Can Our Team Help You to Reach Your Goals
01
Pre-LOI (3–6 weeks)
Regulatory review (CPOM compliance, medical-director continuity, FDA classification of inventory, state med-spa rules). Many med spas need pre-deal entity-stack cleanup.
02
LOI (2–3 weeks)
LOI includes treatment of medical-director continuity, MSO/PC structure assumptions if applicable, and franchise-agreement assignment if applicable.
03
Due Diligence (4–10 weeks)
CPOM, Stark / anti-kickback review where physician services are involved, FDA inventory transfer mechanics, patient consent and waiver review, infection-control documentation, advertising-compliance review.
04
Definitive Agreement (3–5 weeks)
APA structured around CPOM-compliant ownership. Medical-director engagement carries forward via amendment or new agreement. Inventory schedules itemize FDA-classified items.
05
Closing (1 day)
Funds wire, license transfers, medical-director engagement effective, inventory transfer.
06
Post-Closing (3–18 months)
Clinical handover, marketing-compliance review, franchise-vendor renewals, payor billing transitions.
