⏰Free In Person Event - Why Most First-Time Dental Practice Buyers Overpay (And How to Avoid It)

Hi there,

Here's a number that might surprise you.

What actually gets factored into a valuation? Patient numbers, yes. NHS contract value, if applicable. Equipment age. Goodwill. Associate dependency. Lease terms. The list goes on and every single one of those variables can move the price up or down significantly.

The problem is, most first-time buyers walk into a valuation having no idea what any of it means. They see an asking price, assume it's vaguely fair, and either walk away thinking it's too expensive or worse pay it without question.

I've seen both happen more times than I'd like.

The asking price and the market value of a dental practice are rarely the same thing. Sometimes the asking price is too high because the seller's been in the practice for 30 years and has an emotional attachment to it. Sometimes it's too low because something's been buried in the financials that nobody flagged.

That's exactly what Thanos from Copping Joyce is going to walk through at our event on the 22nd of April, what valuers actually look at, where the gaps between perception and reality tend to show up, and how to protect yourself before you sign anything.

We'll also have Christian from Lloyds Bank talking about what makes you "bankable" right now in 2026 because the lending landscape has shifted, and the banks are not all equal when it comes to dental.

It's a free event, it's in the City, and there are still a few spaces left.

Date: Wednesday, 22 April 2026 Time: 6pm – 8pm Where: Lloyds Bank, 33 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1HZ (Can't make it in person? There's a video conferencing option too.)
