5 Benefits of Partnering with a Dental Practice Broker

At first glance, selling or transitioning a practice may not seem financially or physically taxing, but the process of selling or merging a dental or medical practice is actually a very intricate process. It includes not only financial and physical challenges, but emotional ones as well. Having a dental practice broker that can help guide you through the many steps of transitioning your practice is invaluable because your broker has been there and knows the components needed for a smooth transition.

Complete counseling

A practice transition is not as simple as some doctors may believe. If not done correctly, it can be a very costly experience. At Professional Transition Strategies (PTS), specialize in making the transition process painless. One of the ways in which we do this is through offering complete counseling. We work through the entire process, from evaluating your practice to implementing the changes necessary. Through complete counseling, we go through evaluation, strategic planning, implementation and consulting. We act as complete consultants to ensure you are getting the most out of your life’s work.

Practice appraisal

One of the most important steps of a transition is to have a practice appraisal. An appraisal can help you determine what aspects of your practice are most valuable and how to change or increase the value of the areas that are not as highly profitable. At PTS, we work with you to provide an extensive practice appraisal that discusses in great detail the current value of the practice and an assessment of what could be done to increase value.

At PTS, we use the most effective method of calculating your practice’s worth by looking at both attributes and challenges and how they have impacted the success of the practice. Some of the factors used include:

  • The practice’s location, visibility and population of city or town.
  • Type of medicine or dentistry, revenue sources and active patient base.
  • Growth potential.
  • Patient attraction and retention rates.
  • Reason for sale of practice.
  • Projected patient and revenue retention after the sale.
  • Condition and age of medical and dental equipment based on wear and tear, as well as technological advancement.
  • Office decor and condition.
  • Long-term trends of the practice’s revenue and profit margin.

To successfully sell your practice at the price you want, having a practice appraisal that determines what should be changed before selling so that you are receiving the maximum amount for your life’s work is immensely valuable.
