Despite the best of intentions, even once the framework of a practice sale is agreed, it is often still very hard to predict the exact date that a deal will settle. Even with the buyer and seller doing all that they can to prioritise and expedite the deal, a transaction can be at the mercy of the availability and circumstances of many other people’s lives, including:

The devastating bushfires that took place over last summer have become a distant memory for many people, as have the courage and sacrifices of the Volunteer Firefighters. We interviewed Dr Richard Warren a few months ago, one of our dentist vendors from 2019, for our “Life After” series and found that he is one of the volunteers who spent much of the fire season on call and in the field, working tirelessly to save homes, businesses and wildlife. We owe volunteers like Richard a lot!

My practice was a low - level suburban practice, so I didn’t anticipate a lot of interest. However, we had 13 interested parties come through to view the practice within a week or so.

If I have a problem I can talk to them about it, and they are happy for me to do the two days. I’m very busy on those days – I often think I work harder on those two days than I did before I sold the practice!
