After a wonky, bar belled M&A market in 2021 with most transactions all coming in the first and last quarter of the year (#thanksCOVID), in 2022 we witnessed the most active dental M&A market in history.  The market was driven by four major forces:

• Pent up demand on the buy-side
• Fears around tax increases from the Biden Administration
• COVID fatigue related to business ownership
• High demand for specialty practices

Congratulations – you received an unsolicited offer. 

So did every other dentist and group in America.  If you have a practice with over $1M of collections or more than 1 location, it is safe to safe to say that you have been contacted by a buyer and possibly received an unsolicited offer from them. 

Buyers in our market love to connect with dentists and groups directly to help inform them of their EBITDA and value.  Why wouldn’t they!  They get to control the story, the financials, and the process.  This puts them in the driver’s seat in the relationship as they work hard to win you over and shield you from other opportunities in the market.  The less you know, the better for them.
