For Healthcare Operators
Start, buy, improve or grow your healthcare business.
HPS Capital Partners helps you assess the options, understand the costs and put an agreed plan into action, while you focus on delivering healthcare.
Start With Your Business and Your Goals
You may be establishing your first practice, managing an existing business or leading a larger healthcare group.
Before recommending a direction, we help you answer:
- What do you want the business to achieve for you, and over what timeframe?
- What will the business cost to establish, acquire or expand?
- Can it generate enough income to cover costs, debt repayments and your required return?
- Do you have the people, systems and management capacity to deliver the plan?
- What needs to change before you commit further time or money?
Four Ways We Help
Buy a Healthcare Business
You may want to acquire your first practice or add an established business to your group.
We conduct the business search on your behalf, shortlist suitable opportunities and assess performance, staffing and premises commitments against your goals and budget.
Our acquisition management covers commercial negotiations, coordinating detailed checks with your advisers, managing the purchase timetable and progressing the transaction through settlement. We also help plan the handover and integration into your operations.
Start a New Practice or Location
You may have a service or location in mind but need help turning the idea into a workable business.
We research patient demand, competition and location suitability, then help assess establishment costs, staffing requirements and the income needed to support operations.
If you proceed, we coordinate the agreed establishment plan, including premises specialists, advisers and management support. You have clear responsibilities, budgets and milestones, with practical assistance through preparation for opening and the early operating period.
Improve an Existing Business
Your practice may be busy while profits, cash flow or day-to-day operations fall short of expectations.
We review how the business operates, including income, expenses, staffing, management responsibilities and use of available capacity. We identify the issues that matter most and explain which changes are worth pursuing.
We then help implement an agreed improvement plan alongside your team. This may include clearer reporting, stronger operating processes or short-term management support, with progress reviewed against practical business targets.
Expand Into Multiple Locations
You may want to grow beyond one location or strengthen an existing healthcare group.
We help assess where and how to expand, whether through acquisitions, new locations or additional services. We test the funding requirements and whether your management team and systems can support a larger operation.
We conduct targeted business searches and manage acquisitions where these form part of your growth plan. We also coordinate new location establishment, management responsibilities and bringing locations together. The aim is a group that can operate consistently and report clearly as it grows.
Healthcare Experience. Relationships That Create Opportunities.
Our team brings more than 15 years of healthcare-sector experience, having assisted hundreds of operators, including private practitioners, corporate groups and start-ups.
That experience has built industry partnerships, established relationships and practical knowledge of healthcare businesses and property. We draw on these connections to identify acquisition opportunities, bring together suitable partners and help clients progress their plans.

From Assessment to Action
We start by understanding your goals and reviewing the business or opportunity. We explain the options, costs and risks, then agree a practical plan with clear responsibilities, budgets and milestones. Our scope and fees are agreed before work begins. We work alongside your team and advisers to implement the plan, report on progress and address issues as they arise.
Property and Funding to Support Your Plan
Your business plan may also require suitable premises or additional funding. We connect these requirements with the wider operating plan and involve the relevant specialists and advisers.
