Settling on a Practice is one of the biggest moments in ownership. The temptation is to walk in and start making changes. New systems. New structure. Your stamp on everything.

The owners who build the most value from acquisitions do the opposite. They slow down, listen, and diagnose before they prescribe. And they know that the order in which you do things in the first months shapes everything that comes after.

Todd and Sachin walk through their complete first-steps playbook for new owners: what to prioritise, what to never skip, and how to set yourself up for a return that goes well beyond the purchase price.

What you’ll get from this episode:

• The three-lens diagnostic for any Practice you’ve just acquired: GP capacity, patient demand, or operational chaos
• Why talking to everyone under the roof before you change anything is non-negotiable
• The financial system tasks that need to reach 90–95% within your first four weeks, and why they can’t wait
• How to run a tools audit and the one simple trick for finding out what’s actually being used
• The meeting cadence that keeps a newly acquired Practice from falling into chaos
• What a realistic bedding-in timeline looks like, and why slow is fast when it comes to people
