Questions before your next chapter.

ADS Midwest represents the seller. Buyers can browse our listings and speak directly with us about the opportunity and the purchasing process.

Open the listing and contact us using the details on that page. Include the listing number, your preferred area, and a little about your plans. We can explain current availability and the next steps for receiving additional information.

Selling a dental practice is confidential. A city, suburb, or region may be used instead of an address in a public listing. You may be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving identifying or detailed financial information.

Tell Jim your preferred area and practice goals, or contact Pete for Chicago and northern Illinois. Explain whether you want to buy outright, explore a partnership, or add a location. We can keep your preferences in mind as opportunities become available.

In addition to the purchase price, discuss financing costs, your advisers’ fees, working capital, the lease or real estate, and any planned equipment or facility changes with your lender and advisers. The details depend on the particular practice and transaction.

Start with a confidential conversation about your goals and timing. We will explain the information needed to understand your practice and discuss a valuation and sale plan. You can begin that conversation even if a sale is still years away.

Recent financial statements and tax returns, collections and production reports, staffing information, the lease or real-estate details, and an equipment summary provide a starting point. We will confirm what is needed for your practice and how to share it.

No. A sale-planning discussion and a formal appraisal can serve different purposes and have different scopes. Explain how you intend to use the valuation so the team can discuss the appropriate service, deliverable, and any fee before work begins.

There is no single timetable. Preparation, finding an appropriate buyer, financing, due diligence, lease arrangements, and closing all affect timing. Discuss your target date early, then work with us on a realistic plan for your circumstances.

Yes. Having an interested buyer is the beginning of a transition. ADS Midwest can discuss helping the seller evaluate the practice, clarify terms, coordinate with the parties’ advisers, and keep the process moving toward closing.

The scope of representation, fees, and payment terms should be explained and agreed in the listing or service agreement. Ask us to review those terms with you before engaging ADS Midwest.
