Strategic advisory services for healthcare entrepreneurs and pharmacy startups. Institutional discipline applied to entrepreneurial challenges.
The approach I bring to every engagement is rooted in the institutional principles that guided my career: understand the landscape thoroughly before acting, build strategies that account for risk as rigorously as they pursue opportunity, and execute with discipline and accountability.
Whether the challenge is launching a healthcare venture, securing SBA financing, or structuring a pharmacy for long-term exit, the process is the same — clarity first, then action.
Murray Advisory Group operates a specialized healthcare practice, led by deep experience and a commitment to delivering results that matter.
Murray Strategic Healthcare Ventures provides comprehensive advisory services for pharmacists and healthcare entrepreneurs building compounding pharmacies and wellness practices. Our services span the full venture lifecycle: strategic business planning, financial modeling, SBA financing coordination, regulatory compliance guidance, operational planning, and ongoing strategic support.
We bring institutional financial discipline to an industry where careful planning is the difference between a thriving practice and a stalled launch.
Built from 500+ hours of real engagement experience — not theory. Every item comes from watching a pharmacy startup succeed or stall at a critical moment.

For Independent Pharmacy Owners Ready to Stop Playing a Rigged Game
Pharmacy Benefit Managers control reimbursement, formularies, and patient flow — and the system is designed to squeeze independent pharmacy margins while steering business toward PBM-owned channels. But the regulatory landscape is shifting. The FTC is investigating. Congress has bipartisan momentum on spread pricing bans. States are already acting.
The window to reposition your pharmacy before that disruption hits is open right now — and it won't stay open indefinitely. Murray Strategic Healthcare Ventures helps existing independent pharmacy owners build the financial model, strategic roadmap, and capital structure for reducing PBM dependency before the market forces the issue.
| Deliverable | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| PBM Dependency Audit | Analyze what percentage of current revenue flows through PBM-controlled channels and quantify the financial risk of reimbursement compression |
| Revenue Diversification Plan | Map the specific PBM-independent revenue streams viable for your pharmacy's geography, patient base, and clinical capabilities |
| Compounding Transition Analysis | Financial model showing what adding a compounding service line does to your margin profile — investment required, breakeven timeline, and EBITDA impact |
| Direct Contracting Roadmap | Identify self-insured employer opportunities in your market and structure the direct contracting proposal and pricing model |
| Cash-Pay Economics Model | Build the financial model for a membership or flat-fee pricing structure alongside existing insurance business |
| Capital Strategy | If the pivot requires investment — equipment, buildout, staff — structure the financing through SBA, equipment financing, or debt capital |
5 revenue streams that put you back in control — and why the next 24 months are your most important strategic window.
