How to Buy a Dental Practice

  Here is a quick overview of how to go about buying a practice:

• • Market Survey and Analysis: A thorough market analysis is mandatory before you wish to purchase a dental practice. The key points are:
    • Assessing the practice: Includes evaluating the vendor’s reputation, performance, and inclusion of the latest equipment and technology. It’s important to assess the average range of general dentistry, surgical and specialized cases in the clinic.
    • The location and the nearby competitors: Assessing the neighborhood—whether residential or commercial—and locating the nearby dental clinics (your primary competitors) can be valuable. It's best to check for parking facilities, nearby pharmacies, etc. before the purchase.
    • The patient base: Analyzing the patient group is vital. Address factors such as the ethnic origin, commonly spoken language of the patients, the ratio of pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients, the ease of commuting for the patients, and the division of insured/welfare patients in the practice.
    • Growth potential: Check if the practice can be expanded when desired. This involves adding operatories, upgrading the digital system, or adding new equipment; it's best if the practice has the provision for the same.
  • Dental Practice ValuationsA smooth and financially sound transaction includes value-assessment:
    • Analyze the balance sheets, profits, and loss statements of the dental practice to assess its financial stability and profitability.
    • Compare practice tax returns and financial statements to validate the actual cash flow. A thorough review of the tax implications will help optimize the brand’s financial structure.
    The practice valuation method has three approaches:
    • Income-based valuations: analyze the capitalized earnings, discounted cash flow, pre-tax earnings, and project future income. This addresses both tangible and intangible assets, making it ideal for reputed practices with a large client base.
    • Market-based valuation: It relies on sales data alone, ignoring important components like profits and competitors.
    • Net asset valuation is particularly good for the valuation of aspects like goodwill, real estate, etc. but tends to undervalue older and outdated practices.
  • Lease Negotiations
