2502: How to Prepare Your Practice for Partnership Part 2

from The Dentalpreneur Podcast w/ Dr. Mark Costes

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Ben Kacos and Dr. Bill Keith for part two of their conversation on preparing a dental practice for partnership. They get tactical about the steps owners should take before entering a process, including cleaning up the books, separating personal and business expenses, identifying legitimate add-backs, and understanding how normalized profitability impacts valuation.  The group also discusses capital expenditures, debt structure, merchant fees, financing fees, and why every dollar saved can multiply significantly in a future transaction. They close by exploring how teams can benefit from partnership through improved health insurance, training, HR support, and carefully structured equity or incentive opportunities for key team members.
