DSOs, PE funds, corporate groups. But you have no idea who is serious, who has the capital, and who will waste your time. Without competing offers, there is no leverage. The buyer sets the pace, anchors low, and waits. ### "Will I get the valuation I deserve?" Deferred payments, earnout conditions tied to revenue targets or UDA delivery you cannot control post-sale, and clawback clauses that reduce the final figure. Without competing offers, buyers anchor low. ### "Will my associates be looked after?" Will the buyer overload chair time, cut associate percentages, and lose the dentists who built your patient base? The wrong acquirer can undo years of trust with your team overnight. ### "What if I pick the wrong buyer?" They chase volume over quality. Patient satisfaction drops. CQC compliance slips. You are stuck on an earnout watching the practice you built lose its reputation.
