Bluewater Dental Advisors Helping dental practice owners build value today, and maximize what they walk away with at sale We are on a mission to change that. Member SIPC, www.SIPC.org.

The financial industry has largely left dental practice owners in the dust, even though they are one of the most complex and overleveraged business owners in the country. Dentists consistently carry some of the highest debt-to-income ratios in healthcare, often graduating with $300K+ in student debt before taking on additional practice debt.1

You know the famous saying “All you have to do is die

and pay taxes,” but another thing that is for certain is you WILL leave your practice. At the same time, nearly 78% of dental practice owners have no written exit plan, putting their largest asset at risk.2

If I asked you, “How much is your practice worth right now?” Would you have the correct answer? If not you are missing some critical information about where your practice is headed and how to get it there. Follow along as we help dental practice owners build value today, and maximize what they walk away with at sale.

He had the retirement number in his head. His business didn't have it in the bank.

58 y.o. Dental Practice owner, came to us confident he could retire in 5 years.

The "gap" nobody told him about:

His retirement plan required far more investable assets than his practice was likely to generate after taxes, debt payoff, and transaction costs.

The problem was that he had never connected his retirement goal to the actual value of his practice.

The good news? He discovered the gap early.

After determining how much his practice was worth, we found areas where he could grow that value and still had time to implement a tax strategy.

The biggest risk isn't having a gap.

It's finding out about it too late.
