FOR PRACTICE OWNERS

Grow your practice, keep your independence

Synergy Dental supports Practice Owners to run their own business. Maintaining full ownership and decision making of their practice, Synergy provides support with practice and business management and growth.

We have tailored flexible management models to suit any vision and make ambitions into reality.

We believe in creating partnerships with the outcomes being; Less administration, less stress, more leisure. Continuation of clinical freedom. Development of dental teams. Offer more to patients. Most importantly, for Practice Owners and their teams to re-ignite the passion that they had when they first decided to become a principle.

PARTNERSHIP FINANCES

Running Costs

The services provided to the practice by Synergy Dental helps to develop and grow the business.

The daily and monthly running costs are met by the practice which includes PAYE and salaries, rent and rates, consumables/stock, lab fees etc.

As the practice grows, the value of the practice also grows and therefore the value of your shares will increase. Thus, your initial investment is not just rewarded by practice profits but an increased equity value in the business.

We have successfully grown 17 practices to date and grown these practices between 3-5 times turnover within 2 and 3 years. In some instances, over 10 times! Most of this growth has been related to uptake of new private patients and introducing more advanced dentistry into the practice such as Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Synergy Dental has been successful in winning new and additional NHS dental contracts and thus has increased the growth of the business substantially.

With experience in dental tendering and providing a high quality dental service, we have been able to secure new NHS dental service provision for new and existing practices.

This means that as the practice turnover increases, so does the profit element for our partners. Furthermore, an increased NHS contract increases the valuation of the practice raising the shareholding value for our partners.

As the practice owner, if you decide to sell your practice, your practice value will have increased substantially, and you can sell whenever you’d like.

As a practice owner, you may also wish to invest into a 2nd or 3rd practice whether under ‘Synergy Dental’ or your own brand. We will support you with this.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have a question?

Don’t panic, we’re here to help

Absolutely! As an associate dentist, you can choose to become a partner with us. You do not need to be an existing practice owner to become a partner with us.

Yes you can. Your options are that we buy a new practice together separate to your existing one, or we buy into your existing practice. We can discuss these options over a simple phone call.

Don’t worry, relax! We can offer you flexible share options ranging from 10% to 50% to the value of your investment. You then have the option to buy further shares up to 50% in the future.

You can! There is no tie in so you are free to sell your shares whenever you want. The share value would be at market value. Vice versa, if you wanted to buy the Synergy shares, we can discuss this over a coffee!

That’s what we are here for! We have relationships with the main high street banks as well as independent agencies to help you secure your finance. We will start with establishing the level of funding required and then make the arrangements for you.

That’s the spirit! We would like you to be motivated enough to see the sky as your limit. If after the first JV practice, you want to invest in a 2nd practice, this is what we encourage. There is no limit in the number of practices you can invest in. The only limitation is how hungry you are.

It is sensible to create a base within 1 practice. If you decide then to invest in a 2nd practice, it would be wise to maintain presence in the 1st practice and offer some sessions in your second practice. This is to allow associate dentists to be supported and settle in. We would create a business development plan for you allowing you not to spread yourself too thin. Our approach is to ensure stability and growth for both yourself and our JV practice.

We refer to this as your financial freedom! You are at a point that you don’t need to work and practice profits allow you to earn a healthy living. So yes, you can. If this is your goal, our business development plan will be tailored to make this into a reality for you.

That’s what we are here for. We have a strong in practice and central operation team allowing you to concentrate on your clinical dentistry – what you are trained to do!

Yes you can. We will undertake a mapping exercise and needs analysis and establish whether the location would be good for a new squat practice. Arrange a call and let’s have a chat. You don’t need to disclose your location until you want to.

If any of the locations have a freehold purchase option, then yes you can.

We can base this on our performance to date with our existing practices. Our partner practices have demonstrated a year on year increase in Turnover and profits. We expect the same for yours.

We recognise that not all circumstances are the same and not all locations warrant the same patient charges. We would therefore build this in the practice development plan.

Simple – get in touch. Call, email or complete the form and we’ll arrange to call you back.
