Independent Pharmacy Matching Service (IPMS)

Keep the legacy of your independent community pharmacy alive by selling to or buying from another independent. Don't hand over your pharmacy to an impersonal corporation looking to buy your files and shut your doors forever. Why not transfer ownership of the pharmacy that you nurtured and developed to another entrepreneur willing to carry on the tradition of independent pharmacy and the continued growth of your business?

The Independent Pharmacy Matching Service (IPMS) provides both buyers and sellers of independent community pharmacies with the ability to connect in a confidential and discreet environment in which they can exchange information about the proposed purchase or sale of a pharmacy.

IPMS has partnered with a professional firm of pharmacists and financial industry experts (Buy-Sellapharmacy.com®) who will assist pharmacy buyers and sellers in connecting with each other to discuss possible transactions. These experienced professionals can help you:

  • Evaluate your pharmacy based on traditional financial parameters and current marketplace activities.
  • List your pharmacy confidentially on the IPMS website in order to attract inquiries from potential buyers.
  • Provide you with assistance in locating a suitable pharmacy to purchase.
  • Offer assistance and guidance in negotiating a transaction, should either party desire it.
  • Assist with financing the acquisition of a pharmacy for financially qualified buyers.

There are many other services available to help you with the sale or purchase of a pharmacy.
