NCPA partners with PRS Pharmacy Services on pharmacy broker offering

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The National Community Pharmacists Association on Thursday announced a new strategic partnership with the PRS Pharmacy Services around an exclusive pharmacy Seller/Buyer Offering Plan for the 22,000 independent community pharmacies NCPA represents.



"What sets PRS apart from the typical 'broker' is their ability to handle every aspect of the preparation, sale and post-sale transition process," noted Douglas Hoey, CEO NCPA. "PRS works with independents in all 50 states and, most importantly, PRS will prioritize making sure independents stay independent, which is good for NCPA and all independent pharmacy owners."



The Seller/Buyer Offering Plan will match the interests of potential buyers to the pharmacy with customized, focused marketing via PRS's extensive network of buyers and contacts.



In addition to the exclusive broker Seller/Buyer Offering Plan, PRS also is offering two non-exclusive wrap-around services that will assist NCPA members in the preparation, sale and transfer of a pharmacy business. PRS's Seller Prep Plan will ascertain a pharmacy's current operations and analyze how to make improvements that will normalize the potential selling price. Upon the sale of a pharmacy, PRS's Closing and Transfer Plan provides the expertise and support to plan and execute the transfer of the pharmacy.



Each PRS service is available separately or as a package.
