Most people wouldn’t tend to think of a dental practice as something that can be bought or sold. But the traditional image of the solitary dentist’s office, with two treatment rooms and one or two dedicated DDS practitioners became a relic at least twenty years ago. It is therefore not uncommon to see listings of dental practices for sale in Nevada in the trade publications. Dental clinics are businesses, similar to any other modern business operating in today’s commercial environment. They are managed like businesses, and are disposable assets, like any business. So it follows that a dental practice can be exchanged between partnerships or liquidated, and in such events a brokerage agency is vital in handling the transaction.
There are a number of advantages for a new group of dentists to purchase an existing practice. It already has full facilities in place and, being an established practice, an existing clientele to provide steady business from the time the deal is closed. For those selling off their practice, either due to retirement, or the desire to relocate, or due to unexpected financial reverses, having a broker to handle all details of the sale and transfer to a new partnership makes the process of liquidation far smoother. Brokers take care of all the business and legal details involved in the sale, as well as final disbursement to the partners of shares in the profit remaining after the payoff of outstanding debts and applicable taxes and fees.
Dental sales brokerages assist in providing accountants and attorneys for prospective clients on both ends of the transaction. Ensuring that there are no hidden financial or legal pitfalls which could hinder the deal, such as hidden debt issues or complexities in the original partnership agreement, allows a sale to proceed all the way through to closing. Conversely, they protect a prospective buyer from problems which could result in an ongoing drain of revenue and years of litigation which could make the successful operation of a dental practice difficult or even impossible. Finally, the fact that such a brokerage agency is owned and managed by dental practitioners guarantees that both seller and prospective buyer are well served by providing medical as well as business expertise to make the right choices where dental practices for sale in Nevada are concerned.
