Testimonials

Backup support and friendship

“You’ve got the ability to give of yourself for the next 3, 4 or 5 years, and set a platform for the future, for someone else in the actual business. With a comfort of knowing you’ve got the backup, support, the help, and the friendship. And the friendship is key, I must stress, the friendship in this business is key. - Hilton

20% increase in income

“In the last year, our practice has grown around 20% so our income has increased by 20% and that’s in a time where businesses are going through huge challenges and uncertainty because of the pandemic. - Dirk

Treated like a professional

“I want to stress that G&M actually treats optometrists as a professional. They let optometrists make up their own mind so that’s very important to a lot of optometrists I think – Very important to me anyway.” - Tin Wong

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to talk to G&M about my plans?

If you are thinking about it, then time is now. We can suggest best options and approach while working with suitable timelines.

How do I maximise the value of my practice purchase price?

Short answer, we value you and our partnership, the longer you stay to work towards your exit, the better. We do offer other options and are competitive.

How long will the process take?

We have a dedicated team who can prioritise each partnership. If we all work together as a team, we can move quickly. 90 days is a fair timeline if desired and an enjoyable experience for all. Some have taken longer, and we have done it less. We’re efficient and flexible.

What does working with G&M look like?

We value our partnership, your experience, contribution, and ideas, we consult on all major decisions of the business. Clinical independence is alive and well respected, just ask our Partners. At the end of the day, we want the same things, and we will achieve them together. Some processes and systems we follow to allow benefits of scale and deliver efficiencies, again we all benefit from these. We take the time to share the why for everyone’s understanding.Example answer

What are my options if I want to stay longer than my agreed term?

Many of our partners have stayed longer, of their choice. We discuss everyone’s needs and work together to agree best solution go forward. Alternatively, if you wish to exit at original agreed time, we find a successor to look after your legacy and continue with the business.
