Please email me at Richard@SharedPractices.com if you're planning on acquiring a practice in the next 2 years! I want to know where you are in the process, what questions you have and what you've learned already. Lets figure this out together.
We're wrapping up Season 1 of our podcast and we've decided to make a change: I've gotten a ton of emails from people wanting to know how to buy their first dental practice. Rather than waiting for Season 4 like we had planned, we're moving acquisitions up to Season 2. Season 2 will now be: Practice Acquisitions and Systemization. Today's episode will give you a preview of the acquisition process.
In this episode Jason Wood, Esq. gives us his perspective on:
- When to hire CPAs/consultants/brokers and how you'll know if they're any good (spoiler: it's not easy)
- Personal finance for practice acquisition including when banks will be more flexible with how much cash you have saved
- Why you might not want to buy a house before a practice and Jason offers to take the fall if you need to tell your spouse that you should rent
- The dangers of group disability policies & creative uses of whole life insurance
- A step by step outline for submitting an offer on a practice.
Also, why his firm Wood & Delgado doesn't charge to review associateship contracts for new grads. Hint: You'll have such a good experience that you'll end up hiring them later when it really counts.
