The questions owners ask first.

No — not unless you choose to tell them. A practice is marketed by region and a short set of traits only; its name, address and figures live in an Information Memorandum that is released only to buyers who have signed a non-disclosure agreement. There is no signage, no public advertising, and inspections happen after hours.

Your team and your patients hear the news from you, in person, once the deal is done. How a confidential sale works →

It varies with the practice and the market, but a well-prepared, fairly-priced practice typically moves within a few months of going to market — and our quietest sales begin with a single call to a registered buyer who was already looking.

The bigger lever is preparation. Owners who plan a year or two ahead almost always sell faster, and for more. When is the right time to sell? →

The first conversation and an indicative view of value cost you nothing. Our fee is success-based — you pay on a completed sale, not before. For a smaller practice it's a flat fee; for a larger sale, a percentage of the price; and where a freehold is included, that part is charged at a reduced rate.

It's all agreed with you, in plain terms, before anything begins. Start a confidential conversation →

Start with our indicative valuation — a few questions for a ballpark range in about a minute. It's a guide, not a formal number.

A proper appraisal goes further: we normalise three years of figures, benchmark them, and build a defensible range you could take to a buyer's accountant. Value turns on profit and how little risk comes attached — not on turnover. What a practice is actually worth →

In almost every sale the team stays exactly where they are — their roles, their service and their entitlements carry across to the new owner. The buyer wants them to: the team is much of what makes the practice worth buying.

And the timing of telling them stays with you. What happens to your team when a practice sells →

Two kinds of buyer: independent dentists stepping into ownership or adding a practice, and corporate groups building networks. They value a practice differently and structure deals differently, and the best outcome isn't always the highest headline number.

A confidential process lets you weigh both, on terms as well as price. Independents and corporates →

Not at all. Most owners talk to us well before they're ready — to understand what their practice is worth, what would lift it, and how a sale would run. Everything is confidential and there is no obligation to proceed.

When the time comes, you'll already know your options. Book a quiet conversation →
