Putting Profit Back into Practice

Will you have enough money for retirement?

Do you know how to maximise your eventual practice sale, and fully understand the practical and legal issues surrounding such a sale?

Are your current personal and professional finances structured in the best way to grow your wealth and minimise tax?

If the answer to any of these questions is ‘no’ or ‘I’m not sure’, this financial planning masterclass for principal dentists is for you.

Andy McDougall and Anne-Marie Houston will be joining an expert line-up of speakers who will deliver essential knowledge on how to:

  • Grow and sell your practice at the highest value possible
  • Understand the tax implications around such a sale
  • Secure the retirement of your dreams
  • …and put a plan in place that makes all of the above achievable.

The event concludes with a complimentary buffet and Q&A, where you’ll have the chance to ask questions and soak up the expertise of the speakers. You will also acquire 1.5 hours of verifiable CPD.


We hope to see you there!
