Periodontics Practice for Sale in Minneapolis, MN

What this listing does and doesn't tell you

• No asking price. Ask the broker for it, and for the terms the seller wants.
• Reported collections of $500,000, as the broker states them.

asking price, adjusted net / profit, patient count, new patients per month, lease terms, rent, staff size, year established, software and technology, reason for sale. A blank is not bad news, it is a question for the broker.

• How the adjusted figures were built. Add-backs are adjustments, and each one should have a document behind it.
• Whether collections match the tax returns and the practice-management reports.
• How much of the production comes from the owner, and what happens to it after the owner leaves.
• Lease renewal options, who must consent to an assignment, and the landlord's history.
• Payer mix, how "active patient" is defined, recall and hygiene numbers.
• Equipment condition, staff contracts and compensation, and any pending issues.
• The practice name and address. The broker keeps these confidential until their own NDA.

This is a plain reading of the page, not advice and not a valuation. Your CPA, attorney and lender check the rest.
