Delivering Maximum Value & Success


It is our objective to lead and guide you throughout this process. We have the knowledge and experience to ensure that your sale is handled with the care and attention that it deserves.

Marketed to interested parties
Multiple interest will drive a competitive environment and put you, as our client, in a position of strength. It is important to keep the potential buyers engaged in the process.

Dental Buyer viewings
Once we have delivered a number of interested parties to you, the offer and acceptance process starts to take shape. We will maintain control over this ‘bidding stage’ and ensure that a position of strength is preserved throughout these negotiations in order to drive value and leverage offers to their optimum level, thus creating ‘competitive tension’ amongst your prospects. This allows you the opportunity to choose your preferred exit, in terms of acquirer ‘fit’, deal structure and value.

Outline / indicative offers
Once you have met the potential acquirer, we will seek to gather and review outline offers in order to understand their view on the value of the dental practice. This will help determine which is the best strategy to handle each particular bidder.

Competitive negotiation
We will seek to reaffirm the value drivers of your dental practice and relate them specifically to the buyer and their acquisition objectives. This will allow us to conduct a competitive bidding process and create competitive tension amongst the interested parties.

Selecting bidders
We will undertake a commercial review of each offer and its deliverability, whilst comparing these to the objectives and time frames that you would like to achieve. We will then fully discuss the offers with you in order to determine which is your preferred choice.

Heads of terms / Deposit Agreement
We play an active role in structuring the Heads of Terms and liaising with legal representatives on both sides of the deal. We will add value to the deal by ensuring that the terms are structured and worded to maximise your position.
We shall organise that the purchaser places a holding deposit with MediEstates to secure the deal on your behalf and as an act of security and commitment.

Due diligence and CQC
We will ensure that the buyer has access to up-to-date and detailed information throughout the due diligence process. This ensures that momentum is maintained and any potential bottle necks are avoided. Whilst carrying this out we will also guide you through the CQC process.

Legal process and completion
Either through one of our Specialist Dental Solicitor partners, or by working with your incumbent legal advisors, we will oversee and manage an effective close to the sale process by assisting in facilitating the agreement of the deal.
