Three leading lights in the dental industry have joined forces to host a FREE 1-hour webinar on Monday, January 16th at 7.30pm – and YOU are invited! If you are considering selling your dental practice - or are looking to double your net profits in three years - this webinar will get 2023 off to the right start. Dental business strategists and mentors Andy McDougall and Anne-Marie Houston from Spot On Business Planning, who are renowned for improving bottom-line profitability, maximising exit values and getting practices sale-ready to the highest bidder. Join Scott Gidman, director of Dental Practice Sale, (pictured below left) a specialist dental broker with an expansive national network of contacts and a team whose pedigree encompasses some of the UK’s most important, prestigious, and noteworthy dental business transactions.

Don’t miss this hugely informative webinar

During the very informative, free webinar, Scott will highlight:

  • The current market including multiples and factors that are affecting practice valuations
  • Sales of NHS v PVT practices
  • Deal structures and what they look like after a turbulent 12 months
  • Larger buyers merging and what it means moving forward
  • Interest rates and the cost of borrowing increasing
  • What does 2023 look like?

Scott has accumulated almost a decade of dental brokering expertise having worked in a both a family and corporate environment as a practice valuation manager. He established himself as one of the leading figures within mergers and acquisitions and was a key player in some 200 practice acquisitions including some of the UK’s most important, prestigious, and noteworthy transactions in modern times.

Andy and Anne-Marie will reveal how to:

  • Maximise your exit value
  • Double your profits to put you on your way to doubling your practice exit value
  • Understand your numbers and what drives profitability
  • Make key decisions that will transform bottom line growth
  • Become more attractive to a broader audience of buyers
  • Manage cashflow, which is particularly vital in this challenging economic period

Ideally a business should be run as if you might have to sell it tomorrow. It makes good business sense to maintain a sale-ready approach even if that’s not your short-term intention. Remember, profit drives the value of your business so your exit strategy essentially begins with the practice purchase and should continue every year with the planned pursuit of profitable growth.
