We are pleased to announce that TUSK Partners was named as one of Axial's Top 25 Lower Middle Market Healthcare M&A  Advisors in 2019.  TUSK Partners is one of the most active M&A Advisors in the Dental Economy and works with dentists, Group Practices and DSOs nationwide.  Today, TUSK Partners represents over $250 million of transactions and continues to see the pipeline grow.  Kevin Cumbus, President | Co-Founder & Managing Director of the M&A Advisory business shared:

"2019 has been a remarkable year for TUSK Partners and all of our clients.  We have been able to achieve exits for our clients that far exceed their expectations and aided in the creation of wonderful partnerships among our clients and buyers in the market.  I am most satisfied with the work we have accomplished with clients who come to us after they have received unsolicited offers from the buy-side.  In every one of these situations, we have been able to bring more buyers to the table, provide our clients better buy-side choices, and driven up the price of their business by an average of 35% and in once case, 56%.  There is no better time to own or sell a practice or group than today." 

The dental industry has recently experienced a tidal wave of emerging group practices.  These emerging groups are creating waves for a number of reasons, but one of the most notable is the staggering dollar amounts buyers are seemingly willing to pay for them.

Have you ever wondered if all it was actually true?  Did your buddy who sold his group really walk away with $50,000,000?! 

Or are there other details behind the dollars?  There are – and we’re going to unpack those details right now.

As we welcome in 2018, many people will be celebrating the New Year with a glass – or bottle – of bubbly.  It’s festive.  It’s celebratory.  It’s tradition.  It also got me thinking…

If 2018 is your year to sell your group dental practice or DSO, what’s the best bottle of champagne you should have in the fridge?  Well, here are the official “TUSK Top FIVE” bottles of bubbly to celebrate the sale of your Group Dental Practice or DSO...

You've heard all of the stories about industry colleagues and fellow dentists making millions selling their businesses.  Is your time next?   Are we at the high-water mark for business valuation?

Your dental practice isn’t worth 60-85% of collections or 6-12x earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).  It’s worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
