🎥 Discussing Startups, Squat Practices, and Practice Purchases: The speaker, with six years of experience at Samara and a background in healthcare finance at RBS and NatWest, delves into common mistakes and key considerations in dental practice startups and acquisitions.
🔍 Key Points:
Location Importance: Emphasizes the criticality of a practice's location for visibility and accessibility, advising against first-floor locations due to potential patient accessibility issues.
Cost Management: Warns against overspending on fit-outs and equipment. Recommends gradual changes to avoid patient discomfort with rapid shifts.
Professional Assistance: Stresses hiring professionals for construction to meet CQC standards and avoid redoing work.
Team Selection: Highlights the importance of hiring the right team members, especially reception staff who are the face of the business.
Lender Perspective on Squats: Notes that lenders view squats as risky due to initial lack of income. Emphasizes the need for detailed plans and financial projections.
Funding for Squats: Details that lenders will finance 70% of total costs for squats with higher interest rates, and the importance of choosing lenders familiar with dentistry.
Purchasing Practices: Advises against overpaying and the necessity of understanding the true profit (EBITDA) of a business. Encourages adding value to a purchased practice.
📢 Advice for Startups and Purchasers: Control costs, prioritize location, understand what you're buying, and consider the sector's favorable lending conditions.
