We have talked about what buyer’s want in the practice, but here are some things that buyer’s hate to see.

1.  High overhead – even though it can be corrected, this is something dental practice buyers often don’t have the vision or knowledge on how to correct.  Even in high producing practices, if the overhead is too high, the buyers freak out.

2.  No way to increase the practice production or income.  If you are doing everything from root canals to orthodontics, you may be maxing out the practice.  I’m not saying it’s impossible to find the right dental practice buyer, but if you’re doing all of the procedures, it can be a bit more challenging.

3.  Old practice from equipment to the shag green carpet and the orange laminate counters.  If it’s been 30 years since you have updated anything in the practice, don’t expect a premium price.

4.  Remote practice – A practice in a small town 3 hours from any major city is harder to sell than a practice in a desirable area.  Give yourselves 2 years to sell dental practices in remote areas.

5.  Relatives working in the practice.  It’s okay to have a wife or child as an employee.  But if you have a wife, sister, daughter and son working in the practice and two of them will be leaving upon the close of the sale, you will have problems selling the dental practice.

These are some of the things to look at as you get closer to retirement, or just want to transition out of your dental practice.

Whether you have owned your veterinary practice for 40 years, or owned it for 5 years, selling your  practice does not mean you are done practicing.  We often meet with doctors who are sick and tired of managing their staff, doing the bookkeeping, playing the games with the government agencies, dealing with the ups and downs of the economy, changing environment of the profession and on and on.  The doctors are about to crack, but think they cannot yet sell their practice as, according to their CPA or financial advisor, are not yet financially ready to retire.  We counter this by asking them “who said you need to retire?”  You can “harvest your equity” and either work back in the practice, or go work for another practice.  What the CPA’s and financial advisors may not see is that your veterianry practice collections numbers are going down.  Or, your blood pressure is sky rocketing due to the above mentioned challenges of managing your practice to the point of a heart attack coming right around the corner.  If you have a good amount of equity in your practice, we can sell your practice and you can put the cash in the bank and work as an employee until you are ready to retire in 5, 10, 20 years, or as long as your heart desires.  Transitioning out of your practice may be the way to enjoy your profession again.
