Guiding Your Transition
Selling your dental practice is an emotional decision, and the process isn’t as simple as posting a “For Sale” sign. The experts at USDT have over 21 years of experience guiding dentists through the complexities of selling their practice. Learn more about our process.
Seller Contacts USDT
Initial information is gathered from the seller so we know which Transition Advisor to assign. The Advisor schedules a 30-minute consultation to discuss market conditions, what the doctor can expect the value of their practice to be, and what to expect after the sale. We will send the doctor a valuation packet and a sample listing agreement. This will prepare the doctor for the on-site visit.
On-site Visit
The on-site visit allows the doctor and the Transition Advisor an opportunity to meet so that the Advisor can tour the office, take photos of the practice, answer any questions the doctor may have, and discuss and review the practice valuation packet. This is an important time for the doctor to explain their treatment and practice philosophy, as well as staff management.
Valuation Process
US Dental Transitions requires a signed listing agreement and a completed practice valuation packet, 3-years of tax returns, and production by provider codes. Once we receive this information, it will take approximately 10-days to complete the core components of the practice valuation.
Co-author & Advertising
Your Transition Advisor will draft the advertisement and you will approve the ad prior to it being published. Once it’s approved, we will publish it in approximately 10 sites/journals.In addition, we will contact doctors who have requested information for the area via email and phone calls.We have a database of over 100,000 dentists and we have the ability to contact 5,000 dentists at one time.
NDA for Potential Buyer
All buyers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to seeing any practice data. Buyers need bank pre-approval prior to meeting the seller.
Location Tour & Buyer/Seller Introduction
The buyer will tour the office and discuss practice philosophy with the seller. If the buyer is interested, a Letter of Intent (LOI) is created and presented to the seller.Included in the LOI is the closing date. If the LOI is accepted, the buyer’s due diligence period begins. Simultaneously, there is a contract term agreement, formal bank approval, and other steps to close the sale.
Closing & Transitioning
Every practice transition is different, so your Transition Advisor will work with you to make recommendations based on your specific transition. Your Advisor will guide you through this process with suggestions on how to build relationships with staff and patients.
