In this episode, we delve into one of the most critical aspects of running a successful dental partnership: profit allocation. Drawing parallels between marriage dynamics and business partnerships, we explore three core models for distributing profits among dental practice owners. These models — the 50/50 Model, Associate-Owner Model, and Full Allocation Model — are unpacked to help you determine the best approach for your practice. Whether you're a seasoned dentist or exploring partnerships for the first time, this episode provides valuable insights into structuring financial success in your dental business.

Key Points:
Importance of Profit Allocation in Dental Partnerships:
   Financial arrangements impact business success and partner relationships.

Three Models for Profit Allocation:
  • 50/50 Model: Equal distribution of profits, simple but less flexible.
  • Associate-Owner Model: Combines individual production rewards with shared profits.
  • Full Allocation Model: "Eat What You Kill" approach; rewards are based solely on individual contributions.

Factors Influencing the Right Model:
  • Production levels, time commitment, and practice type.
  • Balancing fairness with incentivizing productivity.

Practice CFO's Expertise:
  • Years of experience guiding dental partnerships.
  • Customized solutions tailored to practice-specific dynamics.

Special Considerations:
  • Family practices often favor the 50/50 Model.
  • Adjustments for specialists or varying partner roles.

The Importance of Financial Reserves:
  • Maintaining at least one month’s expenses in working capital.

Exploring Practice Orbit:
  • Innovative platform for buying and selling dental practices.
