This seminar is designed for dentists who are approximately 0–8 years away from transitioning out of practice ownership.
A successful practice transition doesn’t happen by chance—it begins years before your practice goes on the market. The decisions you make today can have a lasting impact on your practice’s value, marketability, tax consequences, and the overall success of your transition.
Join our team of experienced advisors as we explore the financial, legal, operational, and personal considerations that every practice owner should understand before selling. You’ll gain practical insights into today’s transition market, learn strategies to maximize the value of your practice, and discover how thoughtful planning can help you achieve a smooth and successful transition—on your terms.

What to expect:
-Learn the pros and cons of selling to a DSO
