Part I of this course focused on the macro trends facing the DSO industry and the various DSO models are available to dentists. Part II will explore in detail the economics of a DSO transaction and the technical points of transaction structures. Although DSO models vary, their approach to practice valuation is the same. After a baseline valuation is defined though, the many variables within a transaction structure can make something bad look good, and vice versa. Any dentist who is contemplating selling their practice to a DSO will benefit from understanding how the learning objectives within this course can help them prepare for a sale. In addition to the technical nuance of a practice valuation, this course will also examine some of the factors that will impact a doctor’s equity value after an initial sale. This course is designed to help dentists better understand how their practice will be valued, how different types of DSO equity may be valued, and the overall path to monetizing the success they have had in building their practice.
