Who We Are

More Than a Broker, We're a True Advisor.

We founded 7 Pillars because you deserve advisors who put education and advocacy of your long-term goals first.

Our Mission

We Replace Uncertainty with Understanding.

In a marketplace crowded with salespeople, what business owners truly need is a teacher, translator, and trusted expert. At 7 Pillars, we advise business owners and healthcare entrepreneurs to plan and execute successful transitions to strategic partners, private equity investors, DSOs, and MSOs.

We aim to replace pressure with clarity and protect your legacy through principled expertise. Selling a practice or business is not just a financial matter. It is deeply personal.

We reveal the truth behind the numbers, explain every option, and stand by you, not the deal.

Our Framework

The 7 Pillars of Every Deal

Each pillar offers a unique lens to evaluate value based on your goals and circumstances, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the key aspects of any deal.

01

Financial Value

The economic factors of a deal can be complex. Our experts guide you through assessing and maximizing the value of each economic factor.

02

Partner Fit​

Transitions are about finding a partner who will play a meaningful role in your life’s next chapter. We help you identify and evaluate the right fit.

03

Quantitative Analysis

We conduct in-depth analysis comparing the financial and lifestyle impacts of a transition so you can make apples-to-apples comparisons.

04

Alternative Evaluation

Every decision requires understanding available alternatives. We help you analyze each before making an educated decision.

05

Personal Objectives

While financial value is critical, your personal objectives are equally essential. We help you understand how they align with available options.

06

Transaction Timing

Market, career, and personal timing must align with your goals. We help you determine when the timing is right for a successful partnership.

07

Risk

Each transition has financial and lifestyle risk. We help you define your risk tolerance and assess partners’ impact on each class of risk.

The 7 Pillars Framework

We evaluate every deal through seven distinct lenses because the highest bid isn’t always the best outcome. This is the framework behind every engagement.

See your deal through all seven.

Every engagement starts with a confidential, no-pressure valuation.

"Everything I did with 7 Pillars was not only thorough, detailed, and well done, it was enjoyable. I really had a great time working with all of them...The peace of mind that I had knowing that every 'i' was dotted and every 't' was crossed and that I wasn't missing something was huge."
Dr. Kelly Toombs, DDSPractice Owner
Dr. Kelly Toombs, DDS
"I can't even imagine doing this process on my own... not only the negotiations way more than paid for itself, but just the process of due diligence—the way that 7 Pillars walked me through due diligence—I barely had to do anything... I highly recommend 7 Pillars. They were phenomenal."
Dr. Hilton Goldreich, DDSMulti-Location Practice Owner
Dr. Hilton Goldreich, DDS
"7 Pillars made sure that we knew what we were getting into, what to expect, and questions we didn't even know to ask and you know they had the answer before we even knew we needed them...I just couldn't imagine doing it by ourselves. I would recommend 7 Pillars to anybody going through this process."
Dr. Jason Montgomery, DDSPractice Owner
Dr. Jason Montgomery, DDS
"One of the things that really stood out to me was that they were very direct. They were very honest about what the process was going to look like, what our involvement was going to be, and also what to expect."
Alix LaurainCEO
"7 Pillars were not forcing us into the marketplace... they were really willing to value our practice, see if this makes sense for us, and provide us with the information ahead of time. 7 Pillars is to us what we are to our patient... they had the information, I could ask questions, I could do some research on my own if I wanted, but they were the experts."
Dr. Kimber Holmes, DDSPractice Owner
"7 Pillars gave me the whole picture. They understood my practice, they understood the offers, they broke it down to that next level so that I really understood what the deal was. We felt that even towards the end and after our transaction took place that everybody was still there still working to make sure that everything got put to bed... everything was done to a sublime level."
Dr. Joseph GrayPractice Owner
"Once they've got a feel for who you are and what your practice is, they can connect you with the right people. 7 Pillars just went over and beyond what I think anybody else would do to help, and that's what really stands out with them. If I had to do it all all over again, I wouldn't use anybody but 7 Pillars."
