How much is my dental practice worth?

Your practice is worth more than you think! DSOs, MSOs and PEG’s value practices based on a multiple of free operating cash flow (aka EBITDA). In general, multiples climb as EBITDA grows.

Examples:

$1M EBITDA sells for 7x multiple = $7M Total Enterprise Value
$5M EBITDA practice sells for 10x multiple = $50m Total Enterprise Value

How many offers will you bring me for my business?

We bring 4 or more offers to the table for the vast majority of our sellers!

How long will it take to sell my dental practice?

A competitive-marketed dental practice transaction process typically takes 6-9 months from the signing of TUSK’s engagement agreement to the close of the transaction.

What are the stages of the sales process?

Great question, the sales process varies from practice to practice, but these are generally the stages you can expect:

Preparation 4-6 weeks

TUSK + client kickoff call
Populate the virtual data room
TUSK deep dive into financials
Develop an initial valuation model
Add-back call

Marketing 4-6 weeks

Finalize valuation model

Exclusive Diligence 12-16 weeks

Quality of Earnings
Legal diligence

I'm an astute entrepreneur. Why should I hire TUSK?

Transactions are complex and time-consuming. Having a representative and advocate will save you time, maximize your deal value, and get you the best structure possible.

TUSK’s seasoned analytics team rebuilds your financials from the general ledger up, identifying every penny that can be added back to maximize your EBITDA. Without an analytics team fighting for your EBITDA, buyers can layer on additional costs or exclude meaningful add-backs from their buy-side analysis.

How does the current market impact the sale of my practice?

Market conditions, such as demand for services and economic trends, significantly impact practice valuations and sale prices. TUSK stays on top of market trends to provide accurate valuations and strategic advice.
