10 Things to Consider Before Selling

1. Assess your personal financial situation, and what it will look like after a sale.
   Discuss purifying your P.C. with your accountant.
2. Get an independent valuation and consult with your trusted
   advisors on all of your options.
3. Develop your working plan for a sale. Will you retire
   or associate in the practice? Would you like a partner?
   What’s your time frame?
4. Review what kind of buyer and/or partner you’re
   looking for.
5. Work hard. Purchasers like to see offices that
   are growing and producing.
6. Review your premises lease. It should have 10
   years or more, including options.
7. Review office policies and procedures,
   accounting and infection control to be in
   line with college standards.
8. Review equipment and premises for
   opportunities to freshen up.
9. Review production to optimize
   all areas of dentistry
   (improve recalls, etc.).
10. Review staff situation
    and employment
    obligations.
