What's My Practice Worth?

This episode is all about how to put a valuation on a pediatric dental practice. To help me dissect this topic, I invited on Jeffrey Moss from Moss, Luse, and Womble (MLW). MLW is a prominent accounting firm out of Texas that works with dentists from all around the country. They help approximately 150 pediatric practices with services ranging from bookkeeping, tax strategies, financial planning, and practice valuating.

Jeff and I discuss the following topics:

- What trends he's seeing in regards to the demand for pediatric offices

- What metrics are looked at when considering high-quality practices?

- What's a healthy profit margin and how is that calculated?

- Is there such thing as a practice that is too big to obtain financing from a private buyer?

- How does bringing on an associate who wants to eventually partner affect the valuation for both the buyer and the seller?
