Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to our most frequently asked questions from our clients.
I’m interested in a practice and the lease states it only has 2 years left to run, what can I do?
We would suggest that your instructed solicitors negotiate a new lease which will be agreed and prepared, ready to start on completion. The lenders will consider the length of the lease when confirming the lending term. For example, if a lease of 10 years is agreed, the term of the loan will likely be over 10 years. For most banks, the maximum term for a goodwill (business) loan is 15 years, however, some banks can agree longer goodwill terms based on their healthcare lending policy. Please note, the funder would perform affordability calculations to confirm that the loan can be serviced over the lending term; it is therefore key to ensure that you have a suitable lease term. We will discuss your requirements and preferences so that we secure funding with the bank most fitting to you.
What are the current dental market trends?
Dental practices continue to be appealing purchases for both independent and corporate buyers with the banks and private equity investors keen to lend within the sector. As the market is fluid it is best to reach out to us for a valuation. Each practice is unique and our regional Business Development Managers will be able to advise you on the current market trends that will impact your particular practice and when the best time is to sell.
Do I need to be a Dentist to buy a practice?
An important factor to bear in mind when acquiring a dental practice involves adhering to the regulatory standards set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the NHS, particularly for those participating in the purchase. It's essential to have at least one partner or clinical lead registered with the General Dental Council (GDC) to legally own a dental practice.
Do I need a dental specialist solicitor?
We strongly advise engaging a solicitor specialising in dental law, as they possess a nuanced understanding of the industry. This expertise frequently leads to efficiencies that can save both time and money. We have selected a panel of Dental Specialist solicitor’s that we can share with you to support you in selecting the firm for you.
What is an EBITDA?
EBITDA is an acronym for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. It provides a clearer picture of a company's operating profitability based on the exclusion of non-operating expenses such as interest and taxes, as well as non-cash expenses like depreciation and amortisation. Historically practices were often valued at percentage of turnover, however the EBITDA method is a much more accurate representation of the profitability of the business. While EBITDA can be a useful measure for assessing operating performance, it's important to note that it does not represent a company's actual cash flow and should be interpreted alongside other financial metrics for a comprehensive analysis of a company's financial health.
