How early should I start planning my transition?

The earlier the better. 90% of the dentists we consult with are ready to sell their practice immediately. While this often works quite well, we prefer if our initial consultation is 2-5 years in advance of your desired transition date. This will allow us to look at your current overhead and assign a value to your practice. We can then recommend ways that you can improve your practice for the future sale, especially if the value is less than you hoped. We will then monitor your progress over the next 2-5 years by performing yearly valuations, at no cost to you.

How will my practice be valued?

There are three approaches to valuing dental practices. The Income Approach, Asset Based Approach, and Market Based Approach. While all three are employed, the Income Approach is the most widely used method in our market.

How can I make my practice more valuable?

The “Million Dollar” question! The answer to your question could be updating technology or updating the décor to give your practice more visual appeal to buyers. For most dentists, the answer is controlling your overhead. There are dangerous pitfalls when trying to do this and that is why we are here to assist you. Once again, at no cost to you.

How long will it take to sell my practice?

Colorado is currently a sellers’ market. Depending on your practices cashflow we typically have practices along the front range under contract with 3-6 months, often sooner. Rural practices can take longer.
