Our Practice Valuation Process
-
Process Step Number 1
Gather Information
The first step in the valuation process is to gather the necessary information, including basic details regarding the practice (history, hours of operation, doctors/staff, type of patient base, # of operatories, technology/equipment, etc.), practice financials, and practice management reports.

Process Step Number 2
Analyze The Data
From both a private buyer and DSO perspective, profitability is the primary factor that impacts practice value. Therefore, completing an accurate cash flow/EBITDA analysis is an essential step in determining the market value of your practice. This endeavor involves reviewing your practice financials in detail and asking questions to identify discretionary/personal/non-recurring expenses and determine the true overhead and profitability of your business.

Process Step Number 3
Determine the Market Value of the Practice
After considering the primary factors that drive value (profitability, revenue, location, type of patient base, type of dentistry, quality of facility, etc.), an appropriate market value is assigned to the practice. In a doctor-to-doctor transaction, the value is typically based on a percentage of revenue or multiple of net cash flow. In a DSO/Private Equity transaction, the value is typically based on a multiple of EBITDA. Our objective is to assign the highest possible valuation to your practice while setting realistic, achievable expectations.

Process Step Number 5
Make Informed Decisions
The practice valuation serves as a critical tool in the decision-making process. Can you afford to sell your practice? What transition options are available based on the unique attributes of your office? Does it make sense to pursue a DSO affiliation or sell to a private buyer? What changes can you make in advance of a sale to enhance the value and marketability of your practice? All of these questions can be answered based on the information derived from the valuation.
