Buying or selling a pharmacy in New Brunswick
New Brunswick is a smaller market with a limited buyer pool, and that shows in the numbers: the typical transaction range is 4.5 to 5.75 times normalized EBITDA, the most conservative band among the Maritime provinces alongside Prince Edward Island. The offsetting strength is stability. The province's older than average population generates steady prescription demand, and pharmacies with long operating histories in healthy locations transact reliably at the midpoint of the range.
Public drug coverage flows through the New Brunswick Drug Plans, including the New Brunswick Prescription Drug Program for seniors and other eligible groups, with private insurance covering much of the working population. Buyers should map the payer mix carefully, since reimbursement terms differ across public plans, private insurers, and cash, and small markets leave less room to absorb margin surprises.
The New Brunswick College of Pharmacists licenses pharmacies and oversees the registration changes involved in a sale. Every pharmacy must operate under a licensed pharmacist manager, and buyers should engage the College early to sequence licensing alongside financing and due diligence.
