Hello!!! I'm a 4th year pharmacy student at Monash University. As a member of the Victorian Pharmacy Student's Association I have heard about Medici and the services it provides. I am currently undertaking a management assignment that requires us to valuate a community pharmacy. I have decided to use Discounted Cash Flow and Capitalisation of Future Maintainable Profits to help me but have hit a snag! How do i calculate the discount rate and capitalization rates? are there current industry figures that i can use? If so, where can i find these figures?Thank you in advance!

What is the future of pharmacy?

Hi, just a few questions regarding pharmacy values: Is the value of a pharmacy calculated separately from the licence itself? Does the value of a licence vary; or is there a fixed value assumed for the licence? Is the value affected by the proximity of competitors etc? What would be a reasonable value for a suburban pharmacy with a methadone program of approx. 50 persons?

I often hear from young professionals I looking for a business to buy. When I inevitably ask them, what are you looking for?. They seem to always respond - anything.

Wrong answer!

If you do not have a clear picture of what you are looking for, you'll be unlikely to find the right business.

1. Are you ready to buy?
