SELLER FAQS
01.
How do I know when the right time to sell is?
Timing depends on more than age or market conditions. Personal goals, practice performance, staff stability, and readiness all matter. We help sellers evaluate timing strategically, not reactively.
02.
How do I know if my practice is actually worth what I think it is?
Many dentists overestimate value based on years of effort, reputation, or what they’ve heard others received. In reality, value is driven by cash flow quality, risk, structure, and market conditions. A market-accurate valuation replaces assumptions with facts, so expectations are set early and outcomes are more predictable.
03.
How much will I take home after selling my practice?
Net proceeds depend on sale structure, tax treatment, debt, and professional fees. We help sellers understand the full financial picture early, before expectations are set incorrectly.
04.
Can selling my practice negatively impact my staff or patients?
Yes, if the transition isn’t handled thoughtfully. Misalignment between buyer and practice culture can create disruption. Proper planning, buyer alignment, and clear communication help protect continuity for staff and patients alike.
05.
How far in advance should I prepare to sell?
Ideally, preparation begins 2–3 years before a sale. That said, we also help dentists who are closer to a decision understand what’s realistic and how to proceed thoughtfully.
06.
What reduces the value of a practice?
Common factors include declining production, over-reliance on the owner, weak systems, and unclear financial reporting. Identifying these early allows time to address them.
07.
Can I stay on after selling?
Yes. Many transitions include an associate or transition period. We help sellers understand what structures are common and how they impact value and lifestyle.
08.
What taxes should I expect when selling?
Tax implications vary based on deal structure and individual circumstances. We work closely with accountants and legal professionals to help ensure decisions are made with full awareness of tax consequences.
