Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully established, operational CLIA-certified Diagnostic & Molecular Laboratory in Macomb County, Michigan. This facility has been built from the ground up with high-quality instrumentation, streamlined workflows, and complete regulatory compliance, making it ready for a new owner to step in and operate immediately.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
This established laboratory specializes in diagnostic and molecular testing services with over one year of continuous operations and an established customer base. The facility maintains CLIA certification and operates with professional-grade equipment including ViiA 7 qPCR, GeneXpert, and Beckman AU400e systems. Current operations focus on direct-pay and cash-based testing models with significant capacity for expansion.
STRATEGIC LOCATION & MARKET POSITION
Prime location surrounded by multiple medical doctor offices and urgent care centers, creating immediate opportunity for an independent lab and dedicated local collection site to capture daily local specimen volume. This positioning provides natural referral sources and steady workflow from the surrounding medical community.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Substantial expansion potential through multiple strategic initiatives:
• Scale test menu to include High-Complexity Molecular testing (UTI, Respiratory, Wound, Pharmacogenomics, STI panels via qPCR)
• Develop commercial partnerships with physician groups, urgent care centers, nursing homes, addiction treatment facilities, and corporate wellness programs
• Transition from direct-pay model to insurance billing through credentialing with major commercial providers, Medicare, and Medicaid for higher reimbursement rates
• Leverage existing equipment capacity to handle 5-10x current daily specimen volumes without major capital investment
OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES
• Complete regulatory compliance with established SOPs and quality control protocols
• Professional-grade laboratory equipment with substantial unutilized capacity
• Low overhead operational structure
• Clean, well-maintained facility
• Marketing support services available for lab collection and strategy development
COMPREHENSIVE TRANSITION SUPPORT
The current owner, serving as Laboratory Director and Technical Supervisor, provides extensive post-closing support including 30-60 days of onboarding assistance, CLIA compliance guidance, complete SOP handover, equipment training, and potential interim director services during transition.
FINANCIALS
Asking Price: $180,000 (includes $120,000 inventory value)
This represents an ideal opportunity for medical directors, lab operators, healthcare groups, or investors seeking immediate entry into regional testing without the typical multi-year setup and credentialing timeline. The seller is motivated due to other career commitments.
