Buying an Existing Dental Practice in Hernando County, FL
A practice purchase buys the patient base, the hygiene schedule, the team and the equipment. The value rests on collections, not on production booked, and on how many active patients stay after the seller leaves. Ask the seller for three years of returns, collections by month, the active patient count and the payer mix.
A partner funding the purchase reads all of that, plus the transition period the seller agrees to work and any non-compete in the contract.
