Billions of prescriptions were issued during 2020/21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and 75% of pharmacy sales were to new buyers who looked to secure a more stable future for themselves following furloughs and uncertainties.

When buying a pharmacy, you become accountable for its profit and must ensure it has enough cash flow to pay outgoings as a minimum. This is in addition to perhaps the most vital question: how will you fund your purchase

An independent pharmacy for sale should be able to issue the last three years of their annual accounts as well as the FP34 statements for the last 12 months. The FP34 statement deals specifically in NHS income, while the annual accounts will help you understand the profits/losses of the business and get an idea of its trajectory, so you can make the best decision about whether this is the right pharmacy sale for you.

The information they look for is about ascertaining the viability of their investment. If they fund you, will you have the experience/qualifications/knowledge to make it a stable investment This means looking at your qualifications, your own capital contribution, your experience in the pharmacy and/or management sectors, your financial profile and background assets and information about the pharmacy itself.

The level of due diligence done for your pharmacy purchase may vary, but we would always recommend working with advisors who can assess all areas of the business including assets and liabilities and identify dangers/risks. This means assessing areas such as:

Like any limited company, you need a strong business plan when buying a pharmacy so you can support your finance application and appear as favourable as possible to lenders. Beyond securing funding, business plans also help you ensure that the pharmacy is the right decision for you and your situation.

Including all of the information above will help result in a business plan that gives lenders more confidence in their investment. When ultimately their choice is based on the perceived risk, a robust business plan helps them see how responsible you have been about the opportunities and threats to your pharmacy purchase.

The due diligence process is what helps you arrive at a realistic valuation and will be more reliable than any indication a Sales Agent can provide. Pharmacies are traditionally valued using a pence in the pound calculation which functions like a percentage. For example, a business with a turnover of 600,000 worth 60p in the pound would be valued at 360,000.

Once that valuation is done and due diligence comes back in a satisfactory manner, both parties can draft the Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) - the document that sets out what you are acquiring, what the rights of each party are and how transfer of business and assets to the seller will work.

The SPA will contain warrants such as a seller warranting there are no claims or litigation against the pharmacy. It will also outline the provisions deadline with the transfer of business assets and the property itself - using standard property solicitor terms known as Standard Commercial Property Conditions (SCPCs).

So now you know how to buy your first pharmacy. While the steps in this guide may vary, the main elements are doing research, securing funding with a specialised loan for pharmacists, and having a strong business plan. However, many people who want to buy a pharmacy overlook the importance of third-party lenders and specialist financing teams who may be able to help you in a more suitable fashion than a high street bank.

The prospect of buying a pharmacy is enticing to pharmacists for a variety of reasons. The items at the top of the list are; freedom and responsibility of ownership, the chance to practice pharmacy on your own terms, do more to improve the health of your patients, and improve your earning potential. These are all realistic goals when you have your own location, however, the process of purchasing can be complicated and lengthy regardless of how well prepared you are.

Opening a pharmacy is an expensive undertaking, and it could take over six months or a year to see a positive cash flow. Failing to handle the cash flow crunch is one of the leading reasons new independent pharmacies fail. Every time you fill a prescription, the customer only pays a portion of the cost and you must wait a few weeks to receive the rest of your money. Planning for this delay in cash flow can mean the difference between failure and success for a new pharmacy. You also have to worry about paying employees and payroll taxes every two weeks. This is where having a good line of credit between $400,000-$500,000 can keep you afloat. Start now, if you are in the planning stage, to establish a line of credit. You may even consider working with your bank to increase your line of credit to account for those first six months or so.
