Why practice sales are like snowflakes
It is often said that all snowflakes are unique, but in reality, they can only form around 35 different shapes, scientists say. It is a similar story in dental practice sales. Brokers often talk about each sale as being unique – and in many ways, that is true as far as experiences and timelines go – yet there are also a lot of similarities between each transaction, just as there is with snowflakes.
Indeed, each sale might have its differences, but there are some key milestones that must take place along the way regardless of the deal or practice type, such as heads of terms negotiations, due diligence, the CQC application process and so on. There are a number of preparations that must take place before going to market that are necessary in order for the sale to progress successfully. It is for this reason that vendors should always enlist the services of an expert broker with specialist experience and knowledge of the dental sector. Only with the right support can a seller be sure to achieve the optimal outcome and tick all the boxes along the way.
Choosing a specialist broker
With many years of collective experience across the team, Dental Elite is both well placed to see and sense what others cannot and has extraordinary powers of perception that makes it one of the most determined and capable agencies in dentistry. The perfect ally for any vendor looking to navigate their way through their transaction successfully with as little stress as possible.
“Having the support of Dental Elite meant that I had little to do with the buyer and their team, as my representatives arranged everything for me,” reflected previous vendor, Henry Fardell after he sold his practice in Wool, Dorset through Dental Elite. “That took pressure off of me and allowed me to take care of other matters.” Like those that sold their practices before him with the help of the leading UK agency, Henry found that specialist help from an experienced dental broker can make an enormous difference to a dental practice sale.
Help where you need it the most
One of the biggest selling points of Dental Elite is that the agency works tirelessly to ensure that its clients find the right buyer. Currently, there are over 5,500 interested professionals from all over the country registered on its database, with more signing up every day; 3,800 of which are classed as engaged buyers. To engage with buyers and optimise its reach, Dental Elite uses a variety of techniques to significant effect, including email, marketing, phone, exhibitions, seminars and online advertising through sites such as the BDJ website. It’s why Dental Elite is ranked as number one on a Google Organic Search for buyers.
Of course, it’s not just about finding a suitable buyer. When a vendor employs Dental Elite, they can rely on the team 100% to assist them on all aspects of the sale from beginning to end. This includes negotiating the commercial minutiae, completing the CQC application for both parties and ensuring the buyer is prepared for their interview, assisting with the due diligence documentation and inventory, and more. The list of areas in which Dental Elite will assist vendors with their transaction is never-ending.
