Medical Devices Businesses for Sale
FDA clearance gets the device through the door, but the real value compounds from recurring consumable and service contract revenue on every unit in the field that hospitals and clinics reorder year after year without reconsidering their choice.

Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
FDA Clearance and Regulatory Files
- Ask to see the clearance letters and confirm that device registrations are current.
- Organized design records, complaint logs, and quality documentation mean the hard regulatory work is already done — and gaps in those files are what slow most device deals.
- Gaps in regulatory files are one of the most common things that slow or complicate device acquisitions.
- Finding a business where all of that is current and organized is something to get genuinely excited about.
Installed Base Revenue
- Ask how many units are installed in the field and what the average annual consumable spend per unit looks like.
- High consumable usage across a large installed base is the most reliable signal that revenue will carry through an ownership change.
- Ask about the service contract attachment rate and how that revenue is structured.
- Businesses where recurring revenue from installed units represents a large share of total revenue are fundamentally more predictable than those relying on capital equipment sales.
Customer Diversity and Settings
- Revenue spread across hospitals, outpatient clinics, labs, and specialty practices proves the device is clinically useful in multiple settings.
- Ask for a breakdown of revenue by customer category and confirm no single account makes up too large a share.
- Understanding which customer types drive consumable usage versus one-time capital purchases helps you see where recurring revenue actually lives.
- Diverse settings also reduce dependence on any one reimbursement environment.
Quality Systems and Team Independence
- Ask who runs production and field service, how long they have been in the role, and whether the quality system operates without the founder's daily involvement.
- Written procedures, calibration records, and complaint handling that would hold up to a review show the business runs on systems, not the founder's technical knowledge.
- A clean quality record with no open observations is worth asking about specifically — it's one of the most telling signals that the system runs independently.
- Documented systems that work independently are a meaningful premium driver in any device acquisition.

EBITDA
With large installed base, recurring revenue, and quality systems
Medical device multiples vary more than most industries because FDA clearance, consumable revenue as a share of total revenue, and the quality of the regulatory documentation all shift the valuation significantly. A cleared device with a large installed base generating predictable consumable orders can command a much higher multiple than a cleared device relying primarily on capital equipment sales.
What drives a premium
Current FDA clearance with organized design records, complaint logs, and quality system documentation
Installed base generating recurring consumable or service contract revenue at high margins
Customer revenue spread across hospitals, labs, clinics, and specialty practices with no dominant account

FAQ
Medical Devices Business Acquisition
What should I look for when buying a medical device business?
Start with FDA clearance status and the quality of the regulatory files. Then look at how the installed base generates recurring revenue: consumables, service contracts, or both. Businesses where recurring revenue from installed units represents a large share of total revenue are fundamentally more predictable than those relying primarily on capital equipment sales. Ask for the revenue breakdown and the installed unit count early. Browse medical device businesses for sale on Rejigg.
How much does a medical device business cost?
Most medical device businesses sell for 3 to 12 times annual profit, with the wide range reflecting how much FDA status, consumable revenue quality, and documented quality systems affect valuation. Businesses with a large installed base generating predictable consumable revenue and a clean regulatory record consistently command the upper end of that range. Use the SBA loan calculator to model deal economics at different price points.
How do I evaluate a medical device business before buying?
Ask for revenue broken out by capital equipment sales, consumables, service contracts, and any engineering work. Review the FDA clearance letters and ask to see the quality system documentation, including complaint logs and design records. Confirm that patents and trade secrets are assigned to the company. Ask who runs production and field service and how long they have been in that role. Plan for a site visit where you can see the manufacturing process and meet the quality and engineering team directly.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a medical device business?
Good starting questions: Is the FDA clearance current, and are the design records and quality files organized? How many units are installed in the field, and what does the average annual consumable spend per unit look like? What is the service contract attachment rate? Who handles production, field service, and complaint management without the founder? Are all patents and trade secrets assigned to the company? Are there any single-source supplier dependencies in the manufacturing process?

How does FDA clearance affect the value of a medical device company?
FDA clearance is one of the most meaningful value drivers in device acquisitions. A current clearance with organized files represents one to two years of work and significant investment that a buyer does not have to replicate. Buyers who find a cleared device with a clean compliance history tend to move faster and bid higher than those evaluating a research-use-only product that still needs to go through the clearance process. The quality of the regulatory files matters almost as much as the clearance itself.
How does recurring consumable revenue affect a medical device acquisition?
Recurring revenue from consumables, disposables, or service contracts on an installed base is worth considerably more per dollar than one-time capital equipment sales. Buyers look at the installed unit count, the average consumable spend per unit per year, and how predictable the reorder cycle is. Hospitals and clinics that have integrated a device into their clinical workflow reorder consistently because switching requires clinical validation and training. High consumable attachment across a large installed base is the factor that pushes device valuations to the top of the range.
