Overview
Clinical staffing and healthcare recruitment businesses typically trade at 3×–6× EBITDA. NHS and private healthcare framework contracts, specialist clinical qualification pools, and compliance-assured placements support the upper end. Regulatory compliance and credential verification are essential competitive differentiators. NHS spending constraints and competition from internal bank staffing are the primary risk factors.
