OMNI Practice Group Highlight the Cons of Completing a Dental Practice Sale Without a Broker
The process of selling a dental practice can be exceptionally challenging for those without experience in the practice transitions. It’s a process that requires the leadership and guidance of an expert in the dental practice field, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the steps involved in a business sale. The experts at OMNI Practice Group have decades of experience helping practice sellers locate qualified buyers for a seamless business sale, and in this latest article, they explain the cons of completing a sale without a dental practice broker.
The Seller May Not Receive Full Practice Value
A broker can help their client to achieve full value for the money they’ve placed into their business over the long term. They can then work to obtain viable selling opportunities and locate qualified buyers within the marketplace. Without this type of guidance, the seller may find their selling opportunities restricted. They may discover that they can only achieve a small proportion of their total dental practice value in the sale.
Sellers are Unable to Handle the Legal Aspects Alone
The legal aspect of a practice transition is often a critical element within the dental practice sale process. Buyers will have their lawyers review the business’s paperwork and any issues they find must be analyzed closely by experts in the legal field. Brokers often have significant legal experience or have a legal team on their side and can help handle any challenges that arise during the transition process, while keeping the seller’s needs as the foremost consideration. The broker will be available at any time via phone or email to answer the seller’s questions and move the transaction process along. This can help prevent the seller from making poor choices and becoming embroiled in legal challenges.
The Seller Doesn’t Have Marketing Experience
When bringing a dental practice to the marketplace, the seller must be able to highlight the advantages of their business in a way that attracts qualified buyers. Brokers are often experts in this area. They can use their experience to craft compelling marketing materials for the seller and use their experience in the marketplace to build target buyer lists and send out high-value content to these buyer lists.
Sellers Cannot Handle Mediation with Buyers Alone
The buyer will likely have a lawyer driving their purchase process. The lawyer will be negotiating with the seller on all elements of the transaction, including the final price. Having a broker on-hand during this process ensures the broker can handle all mediation, negotiating on the seller’s behalf to get the right price and the ideal structure for the purchase.
Working with a qualified broker can help dental practice sellers reduce their transaction challenges and secure a seamless sale. To learn more, speak with the team at OMNI Dental Practice Group at 877.866.6053 or visit their business website at omni-pg.com.

By working with trusted industry specialists, dental practice owners can ensure a swift profitable sale for their business. The team at Omni Dental Practice Group has many years’ experience within the dental practice marketplace. They have helped hundreds of owners understand the sales process and worked with a range of clients to ensure their practices are sold with a seamless precision for lucrative returns. In this article, their experts explain the business sale process and how Omni Dental Practice Group prepares business owners for the sale of their dental practice.
1. Financial Reporting
A critical element in the sale of any business property is financial reporting. Buyers will complete due diligence on the company they are purchasing and it is important all financials are in order and ready for review. Omni Dental Practice Group helps business owners complete the financial reporting process. They gather the required documents and ensure the documents are completed accurately and according to the strict standards within the industry.
2. Consolidating Business Resources
During the search for a local dental practice for sale, buyers will be reviewing the market for practices that are lean and do not have excess resources to manage and pay for over the long term. After assessing the finances of the practice, Omni Dental Practice Group works to consolidate the business’s resources, removing unnecessary expenses related to vendors, staff, and equipment and helping business owners understand the resources that are important to their company and potential future buyers.
3. Remodeling Work
In consulting with dental practice owners, Omni Dental Practice Group will advise them on potential remodeling requirements. They will guide owners on the paintwork and property upgrades required to ensure the practice is sale-ready. This process is completed alongside trusted building inspection teams that analyze all areas of the property to determine whether any upgrades are required before placing the practice on the marketplace. Any issues in the practice will be highlighted by the buyers’ representatives during their due diligence on the practice, and so sellers that finish remodeling work proactively and ensure all problems are resolved can showcase their commitment to the sale.
4. Analysis of Practice Value
When getting their dental practice ready for sale on the marketplace, owners must consider the optimum value for the company and how they can harness this valuation to attract the right types of buyer for the organization. Omni Dental Practice Group has significant experience in this area of the marketplace. They can help business owners detail the most important elements that determine a practice’s value. For example, they know that margins are more important to buyers than gross production levels. And so they can use this knowledge to value the practice at the highest rate possible according to market demand.

Essential Reports To Obtain When Buying A Practice
When buying a dental practice, there are several essential reports you absolutely must have in order to evaluate the practice. The reports are as follows:
- Minimum of 3 years Tax Returns and Financial Statements
- Minimum of most recent 3 years annual productions, collections, and adjustments
- Most recent production by procedure code report
- Fee Schedule
- Patient demographic information
- Accounts receivable and insurance receivable aging
- Employee census information
- Copy of the lease
- List of included equipment and furniture
- Outstanding treatment plan report
Now that you have these reports, it’s essential you understand what they mean. If you don’t know how to read financial statements or tax returns, be sure you have a knowledgeable OMNI accountant on your team. If you need help with the practice management reports, hire a consultant or third-party practice broker, like myself and my OMNI colleagues. We can help you evaluate the practice.
In the long run, hiring OMNI experts to evaluate the reports will more than pay off.
