Our expert team have a wealth of experience in evaluating acquisitions targets, however increasingly clients request a bespoke "findingpractices4dentists" which involves a more proactive direct marketing approach.
This service involves developing a bespoke targeted marketing campaign, focusing on appropriate locations, practice demographics and other key factors and directly approaching prospective sellers with an accurate and attractive buyer profile.
​
If you are a first time buyer, finding a competitive market a daunting prospect, or an experienced practice owner, looking for strategic expansion opportunities, contact our specialist team for a discrete discussion about how we can assist you.
​
Practices for sale
practices4dentists is not a traditional sales agent. As experts within the dental sector, we work exclusively with both sellers and buyers to identify unique qualities which both parties are looking for.
​
In particular our client base is focussed on continuity of customer/patient care and brand protection as well as the financial structure of any deal.

Buying a practice
While the majority of “sales agents” are focused on the transaction process of selling a practice, our specialist team are here to assist you through the acquisitions process itself.
We assist buyers through all aspects of the acquisition process, from negotiating with sellers and agents, due diligence, assessment and survey of equipment, raising finance, legal & HR advice and support as well as business planning.
Whatever support you need, the 4dentists group has an unrivalled team of experts to assist you at every stage of the process.
Practice valuations
We have a tried and proven procedure for valuing covering a number of situations including:
​
-
Changes in a practice ownership e.g. one partner buying the other one(s) out, an Associate buying the practice etc.
-
Valuations as part of the change to a limited company structure.
-
Valuations for clients interested in buying a practice but need an independent valuation.
