| Advice
The quality of advice you get is critical
when it’s time to sell, retire or associate
What do I need to know about selling my practice?
• How appraisals are conducted
• What a potential buyer will want to know
• How much your tax liability will increase
What is the market value of my practice?
Many dentists overestimate the sale price,
or believe wrongly that it will support them into retirement.
How can my practice value be increased?
Adopt an action plan that optimizes assets and maximizes your
selling price.
What is the best practice option for me?
Solo or group practice; associate buy-in, owner buy-out or merger;
managed transition into retirement? Familiarize yourself with
all the consequences.
Why do I need professional advice in addition
to that of my lawyer and accountant?
Deliver a strategy and timeline to your local advisors to help
them pursue your best interests.
I’ve found someone I can work with—what
next?
Most associateships suffer from poor planning. Define expectations
early in the relationship—and beyond.

|
|
IS
AN ASSOCIATE THE ANSWER?
Carefully consider the
choice you make |
What is the long
term impact of an associate?
Are you better off solo?
Avoid costly pitfalls, myths and misconceptions. Before
you lock yourself into a commitment, evaluate the benefits and downsides
for the long term.
• Observation checklists—including facilities, staff,
systems and patient base, cash flow, working hours, delegation of
responsibility, expenses and management issues
• Protect yourself from involuntary practice transfers, unforeseen
events with dissolution and non compete agreements
• Don’t get trapped in the “revolving-door associate
syndrome” |
