Buying a pharmacy in Birmingham: the local market
Birmingham is part of West Midlands and is covered by the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care board.
Birmingham and Solihull is commissioned by a single integrated care board, while the surrounding Black Country towns such as Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell and Wolverhampton sit in a different one, so a buyer looking at the wider conurbation is often dealing with more than one set of local commissioners. Many Birmingham pharmacies have a high share of NHS dispensing and a loyal repeat-prescription base, which can make them attractive to buyers looking for stable income but means a buyer should look carefully at how much of the business is tied to a small number of local surgeries.
What buyers in Birmingham should think about
Buyers considering Birmingham often compare inner-city neighbourhoods with suburban and Solihull-side opportunities. Check the proportion of NHS and private income, the relationship with nearby surgeries and whether the pharmacy has capacity to grow services rather than just dispense.
